I have a 1920's vintage colt SAA, a 1906 vintage Winchester 1873 and a Marlin 94 with a three didget serial number. All thrree are in excellant original condition.
My intention is to use the three in Cowboy Action shoots.
The question is, will the three take the same round and can I use modern ammuntion such as that supplied by Black Hills or must I use black powder in one or all of them.
Thank you in advance,
Mark J

I wouldn't use jacketed bullets in these guns even in the low powered factory loads.
As for the Winchester and Marlin rifles have em checked by a gunsmith familiar with the firearms and the era in which they were made.
