I haven't fired these in well over 25 years.
The two pictured together are .36 caliber and the "Derringer" is .45 caliber.

Anybody else?

They look sweet and classic style. I shoot a .50 caliber Traditions Kentucky pistol.
I use 80 grains of Pyrodex RS with a patched round ball for tight groups at 25 yards.
I usually clean it with hot soapy water right after shooting to prevent corrosion.
Are you using them?

You use 80 grains of powder for a pistol???

No one who has a black powder pistol uses that much powder in a pistol.
