Today, I finally zenned with my new Howell .45ACP conversion cylinder in the Pietta 5.5" '58 Remington. I'd tested it when I got it with my 200 grain SWC standard pressure load that I shoot in my Ruger KP90DC. It shot left, but dead on in elevation, about a 2.5" 25 yard group. SO, Kentucky windage on my 4" spinner target, I couldn't hit with it from 15 yards. Hmm, well, I got some bowling pins I've had for a long time, placed 'em out at 15 yards, was hitting dead on windage with a hold to the right, but hitting high on the pin. I lowered the aim and I was hitting center mass of the pens every danged shot! THEN, I went to my spinner and started hitting IT every shot. COOL! I am figuring it shoots higher off hand than off the sand bags due to the added muzzle flip. It rolls in the hand a bit and I was holding it pretty solid off the bags. Well, live and learn.
So, I figured it needed a good pic on my range, The woods behind the back stop are mine. Life is good.
