I have a conversion cylinder that lets me fire 45 ACP in my 1858 Rem. and they fire great out of it. Now to crush the bullets in the cylinder for just using them over black powder in the original cylinder, I think it is possible. The copper jackets are thinner on Hollow-points than Full Jacketed bullets. I wouldn't try ramming them with the guns rammer, I think it would be best to use a loading press for the job. It would allow you to exert lots more pressure onto the bullet to crush it into the cylinder. As far as accuracy, well to tell you the truth, I get best groups with Hornady lead balls. For fouling I don't really have a problem by using Wonder-wads under the ball. It keeps the rifling's and barrel clean. I also use 4 ffff powder since it burns completely up. Yes, I know, hundreds have said it is "Priming" powder only, but I find I can fire a whole box, (100) balls at shooting session and have no issues with gummy, or foul barrel and cylinder. I was out of 3fff and just used this as a substitute and found I got better velocity, tighter groups, and a cleaner gun. It works for me, I like it. My stainless Steel revolver handle's the extra Ompf too !
