Hi again,
Another question, in trying to work up some 45 colt loads for my 1858s, I notice with 250fr lrn and 5gr of trailboss, everything shoots 4-5" high at 25 yards.
My question is, all other things being equal, for a 250gr lrn how does velocity affect poi if at all i.e. 650 fps vs 850 fps will loading for a slower or faster round shoot to a lower poi?
Similar question for bullet weight, say a 200gr vs a 250gr loaded to the same velocity, will one shoot to a lower poi than the other?
Do I need to load a combination of slow velocity and light bullets to get the poi closer to poa?
I am trying to work up the most accurate load for these revolvers and any advice is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
