    Thanks for the reply, Gus.

    I actually do carry a small wheel gun more than anything else, defensive wise. Though I do own small semi-autos. The small wheel gun just serves my needs better.

    You mentioned in the video you weren't sure of the powder, it's written right there, 1F Swiss!

    Your father had a very nice rifle, and I'm sure you'll treasure it. Great video!
