Hello,
Here is the result of 8 shot at 25 meters, 2 hands hold with rest. No more shot because I seated the 9th ball without powder and had no adequate material at the range to fix it !!!!
The pistol is the basic ARDESA kit with additional inlet (from TOW) and a dovetailed rear sight.
15gr of BP, 15gr of "semoule" (Wheat powder ?),a wet patch and a 0.445 cal ball.
The barrel could probably do better but the problem is rather with the lock which is poorly designed with a weak coiled spring. I have to pull the trigger very strongly otherwise the hammer would stop at the safety notch, hence some move at the start.
Anyway, there is an expression like "does not hit the door of a barn" (by the way how is it exactly ?)which could be reconsidered in this case...
