    No, the Frankford Arsenal ammo is for display; I have the 200 rounds of modern load .45 Long Colt shown above to shoot.

    The original has corrosive primers as well and they are incredibly bad if you do shoot even one. If you decided to try it then solvent the whole cylinder, frame and barrel immediately after finishing or it can be an awful mess!

    Oh, and yes that is from experience with a Colt New service Mk1 in .455 in.

    Here's a box of Frankford Arsenal 20 blank rounds dated 1914; apparently they were used to accustom Cavalry horses to the sound of gunfire.

    Took the revolver out to a friend's range and shot some 40 rounds and the old Warhorse performed flawlessly and was spot on every time. Yes, tight as a drum and a real hoot to shoot! Since this range has only metal targets no photos but next time will have photos of paper targets at another range. Used the modern factory loaded 250 gr lead flat nose lead and 240 Gr RNL . As noted these are light loads seller used in his 1873 Colt SAA and Winchester 1873.
