I was able to get to the range again this morning with my Uberti Colt Walker. I am finally getting used to shooting this big boy and was able to get some decent groups at 25 yards using 45 grains of FFFG Goex, wonder wad and .454 Hornady round balls. This was a new set of balls and they were a little loose -- just a little shave of lead. I may go to .457s.

I also got off 12 shots from 50 yards -- 7 hit the ring. Not enough time to dial her in from that range. Next time...

The target below was shot from 25 yards.

I'd say that's a dead man. Great way to start the day.

...I forgot to note that all shots were made off-hand.

I hope to get to the range more this summer. Just not enough time!
