Re: Buffalo Bore Ammunition
Hoarding will continue due to the political climate and gouging due to the hoarding and shortages due to both. That is how it is.

Pinch the #11 caps before pushing them onto the nipples.
Knock on wood, but in 35+ years of shooting cap and ball revolvers I've never had a gun fire an adjacent or other chamber.

Re: Selling in the classifieds...
Most such deals imply that the money will be in hand in a certain period of time. USPS MO in a mail transaction or cash in person seems best. A check is often acceptable to a seller if the person is known to the seller, i.e. the seller knows where the buyer lives, works, etc.

Price differences exist due to cost of manufacture and demand vs. supply. Not a lot to do with fit or finish given the examples you are using and modern manufacturing methods. Ruger cut a lot of cost on the Americans hence the relative inexpensiveness compared to the 77. Wood also costs more and mor...
