)Can one use nitro in a bp revolver if shotgun primers are used?. I have always been told that a bp gun needs re-proofing for nitro and a big bill for conversion.
I've got a Euro Rogers & Spencer and would like to use nitro if possible.

No don't use nitro in a blackpowder proofed cylinder, you'll need to get an expensive nitro proofed cylinder for your gun.Nelly2014 wrote:This thread has got me confused (but tbf it's not that difficult

My original post was to do with using 209 shotgun primers with the blackpowder as I have 1,000's of the things.

Check out Derek @ Anvil Arms - He converts Remington 858 to use Nitro - New Proofed cycling race. I have one just ordered a Second for Cowboy Action Shooting.
Beautiful revolver and shooting really well. Easy to load and even easier to shoot.
Best investment I have to mimic a real revolver

The humorous answer is yes but only once. You will then need to replace the cylinder, most of the frame, your hand and be given a guide dog.
I think you get the idea.

Just in case anybody is still in doubt about using smokeless in a BP firearm, watch!

Re: percussion cap to 209 shotgun primer conversion
Nelly2014, just curious.
If you wanted to shoot smokeless in a revolver why did you buy a black powder one?
Anyone advise you on the purchase?
