fouserchris,

I see this is your FIRST POST and you came to the right place; Welcome to the Forum.

I am not familiar with the Traditions .44 revolver, is it open top like the Colt or does it have a top strap like the Remington 1858?

I have a New Army 1858 Remington that loves 25 grains of 3F BP and a .454" Ball. It shoots to point of aim at 25 yards and that is all I need. Quigley wisely advises about a wad or grease to prevent "chain fire." Good shooting.

Adam
