Why? If you want a magnum, buy a magnum. With bp that would be a 47 Walker.

I got a Howell's .45 Colt cylinder for the Uberti Dragoons. It's the bored through with a back plate type. It locks up nicely with a hefty pull to get through all four clicks. I guess I should remind everyone I'm trying to make a shooter out of a (an?) F series Colt's 1st Model Dragoon. Loading up HSM cowboy loads in .45 Colt leaves the bullet nose a good 1/4 inch below the cylinder face.
My research tells me Walkers could load 60 gr. bp, Dragoons, 50gr. That load isn't written in stone, just an approximation to get the bullet seated on the powder and to get the bullet nose nearer the cylinder face.
I'm the poor fish who can't find normal nipples or any information about caps for the F series COLT'S 1st Dragoon I'm beginning to wish I never bought.
This whole thing has been a barrel of mierde del toro. Shoulda just bought an Uberti ( A Uberti?) What's the plural of Uberti? Uberties? Ubertii?
Anybody wanna trade a newish (Or new, for that matter) Uberti Colt's ANY Model Dragoon for a F (An F?) series Colt's First Model Dragoon? All numbers match. I'm about tired of this thing. I thought it would be cool to own a real Colt, but it's just been a barrel of crap.
I don't give a rat's rass about "collector value".
