Many people blindly believe whatever they read or hear in the media. I have seen ridiculous stuff in this category, and people get it from mags, it seems. In an old mag, a man tested a Colt Walker replica and said he loaded it with the original charge of 60 grains of powder, conical bullet and felt patch. I owned this gun and know 50 grains was its charge. With some conical bullets, I must reduce it. I see no use for a patch. I put grease around each bullet. An almanac I have has an article that says a "double-action only" is best for novices and experts, but Bill Wilson says in the same mag that he has no use for such guns. I agree with Bill. Is it good to present such opposite views or does it confuse people? I say that the first one is silly and has no place in the mag. Bill agrees! When I was a boy, I bought a mag that listed nonsense in other mags. Some mags said the LES Rojak was a good pistol, but it proved to be junk. It was a poor copy of an imperfected Steyr GB. Any to add?
