I replaced my hammer with a new one that I just cut a new 'V' notch in and went to the range over the last couple days. I wanted to experiment with my Colt to see where her range is in the loads she likes and dislikes. All targets are shot at 25 yards with the barrel resting on sandbags, two hand hold.
The first target my load was 20 grains of GOEx 3Fg, 1 Oxy Wonder Wad and a 454 round ball. I fired one shot out of each chamber and marked them on the target.
The second target (the Shoot N C) I went up to 30 grains of GOEx 3Fg and varied between using 1 or 2 Oxy Wonder Wads and a 454 round ball. They went all over the place, very disappointing. These are the shots that are covered.
The uncovered shots on the Shoot NC target are with my loading of 25 grains GOEX 3Fg, 1 Oxy Wonder Wad and a 454 round ball.
In my experience with Colts their range in the loads they like and dislike is very narrow compared to the Remington.
