Nice piece, nice shooting. What brand is it.

I've got (or had, I doubt I ever see it again) a Uberti 3d model Dragoon, .44 Cal. A friend gave it to me while I was doing CW reenacting. I since quit reenacting, let a guy I knew use it who had started doing cavalry. I didn't shoot it much anyway, I usually used a shotgun. Actually, he reenacts with the guy that gave it to me.

Never used "wonder wads". They are supposed to work well. If you ever have a "chain fire", you will appreciate them. I had a couple, fortunitely, I wasn't shooting balls, just blanks at reenactments.

Try some conical bullets sometime...they make it kick like a mule, but are fun.

Yeah, a real pain to clean. I've been into muzzleloaders for most of my life, though haven't shot any for several years. Shoot it for hours, shoot it once...still takes an hour or more to clean. I use very hot soapy water, then lots of plain hot water, then alcohol inside of the barrel and mechanism to insure the water is dried out.

All I know off the top of my head it's an 1851 Colt Navy....some Italian re-make. It's packed up right now, so I can't go take a look.
