I have been shooting my Uberti 1858 New Army with a 45 Colt conversion cylinder. I have used 250 gr Cowboy loads (Factory Loaded) as well as some 200 gr hand loads using Trail Boss. The gun groups great when I do my part, but the point of impact is about 1" left at just 7 yards with both loads. I tried loading some dummy rounds with live rounds to catch myself flinching but didn't notice a flinch. I haven't shot the gun a lot and feel that the issue isn't the gun but me the shooter. When I first shot the gun with the percussion cylinder and a round ball it shot low but centered, I was shooting one handed, the low POI was expected with a 140 gr RB and Uberti's high front sight.
I don't have the same issue with my semi auto pistols or DA revolvers, could the difference in grip angle effect the POI under recoil? I have been shooting 2 handed as my 1 handed shooting has a lot to be desired.
The good news is I like to practice and the front sight is dove tailed in so I can adjust the POA. I just want to make sure I fix any issue I am having before I make any changes.
