Hello,
Here in France it is very complicate to have cartridge pistol but cap and ball revolver are easy to have. Hence Italian companies have issued some SAA modified for cap and ball. The history is going backwards....
Shooting with rest and both hands at 25 metres with 25gr BP :
- 6 balls 0.454 : 25gr BP, 10gr cornmeal, ball, crisco.
- 12 Lee bullets 200gr cap§ball 0.450 : 25gr BP, bullet and crisco.
With heavier bullets, one can see that it shoots higher but accuracy is still maintained

It is the only way to shoot the SAA for us in France without any administrative fuss !!!
Have fun
