The Ruger Old Army is a black-powder percussion revolver introduced in 1972 by the Sturm, Ruger company and manufactured through 2008. Models were available with either a 5.5 in (140 mm) or 7.5 in (190 mm) barrel.
The case length was 17.8 mm, which was rather on the short side. Reloading this cartridge could take some patience due to the shortness of the case. Military specifications called for black powder loads, replaced by a mild smokeless powder in the early twentieth century. Standard muzzle velocity was around 550 feet per second.
Black powder cartridge refers to firearms ammunition from the period after the introduction of metallic cartridge, but prior to the wide adoption of smokeless powder.These cartridges (frequently but not always single-shot) had adopted the new technology of complete cartridges including a brass casing which held the powder charge, bullet, and primer.
Some guns with a powder magazine in the butt also had a bolt inside the small of the stock, which could be turned to block the flow of powder. [1] The carrier on most guns contained enough powder (5ccs on one example) [23] for both the main charge and priming the pan. [6]
