    I tried those today and they worked pretty well. No FTF's or anything. 30 grain loads. I don't usually use them, but I bought some off another guy here. I would use them again. Not sure of the retail price, but definitely a lot faster to load than powder. I was using a Pietta Rem 1858 model. The only thing that may be bad is that the gun "gummed up" after about 25 rounds and it was hard to remove the cylinder rod/cylinder. I'm not sure if the pellets made any difference or not on this issue.

    Gummed up? Were you using some kind of glop over the loads?
