Default RE: Old Army

I have had 3, they all shoot very well two I traded or sold the one I still have will shoot any load from 28 to 40 gr with a .457 ball and off a rest will put all 6 in a ragged hole the size of a quarter at 25 yds and the 35 to 38 gr of P will group about the size of a silver dollar at 50 yds[off a rest I dont shoot that well off hand any more].
Use the good RWS caps. I have found I like the results if I rub a bit of bore butter over the balls after they are loaded.
Any revolver has one down side it takes a bit of effort to clean them, Just to make it interesting there are some 45 long colt cylinders available in case you want it to do double duty. Lee
