Hey all,
What is the recommended charge of Pyrodex P powder for accurately shooting an 1860 Colt Army? I tried 25 grains this past weekend and I was all over the target at 15 yards. So I'm wondering if it was the quantity of powder, or other?
Perhaps the ball size? I was shooting a 0.454 diameter ball but it didn't cut much lead when I seated it in the cylinder. Perhaps I should try a 0.457" ball?
