RE: gun dreams
Our nitro conversions are not to allow cartridges to be loaded, they are still "muzzle" loaded but using smokeless powder instead of black powder. We are not allowed to own cartridge revolvers unless they have stupidly long barrels and a stock welded onto the frame. The only exceptions are as a humane despatch tool for deer stalkers, and these often have four or five of the six chambers welded closed.

Here is an example of a UK nitro conversion:

The recommended load for the .44 calibre is a 147grn ball over 4.3grns of Herco. It's a far cry from my favourite long range load of 240grn bullet over 22grns of 2400.

Incidentally, the Ruger Old Army can be loaded to over 500ft-lbs with black powder substitutes, that's plenty to have fun with.
