Default drag the Ruger old army out to day

Well the only problem with my ROA is not shooting it but cleaning it.
I ran about 50 RB threw yesterday at the 20 to 25 yard range with 35 gr. triple 777 3F .
Group average 2" 2 hand hold unsupported
I did find it did excellent with out a grease cookie top
The 35 Gr. and a wonder wad and ball that it
I like shooting the ROA but cleaning it is a whole different ball game.
I also drag out the thunder hawk 50 Cal. by t/c
My load 3F triple 777 90 Gr. and the 325 buffalo ssb bullet/sabot all 3 shots inside a half dollar at 75 yards about 2" over center.
I was surprise about the recoil I added a thicker pad and it id improve a lot.
O well this gun never changes point of aim so back in the safe until a rainy day in the BP hunting season.
