Well, I finally got to the range today and shot my Uberti Colt Walker for the first time. I got it back in February but work and family has kept me from the range! In fact, today was my first time back at the range since October!! :(
Below is a shot of one of my targets. All shots were from 25 yards, standing, using two-handed stance. Any variation in the groups was due mainly to experimenting with different stances (again, it's been nine months since I've been shooting).
I experimented with different loads -- from 35 grains all the way up to 50 grains. She seems to like 40 grains of Goex FFFG. I used a .454 round ball on top of a lubed wad.
A ton of fun to shoot -- lots of smoke and lots of comments from the guys at the range. Can't wait to get back out to the range -- hopefully within the month instead of another nine months!!
