Since the thread is already resurrected, here is a video of my Uberti Remington New Army with a R&D .45 Colt conversion cylinder.
I get best results with very light loads of Wano PPP or Swiss #2. A typical load is 15–18 grains of Swiss #2, a cardboard wad, a grease cookie, another cardboard wad, semolina filler and a .454" roundball crimped on top. Sometimes I omit the wad and grease cookie and use soft lubrication over the chamber mouths – especially in warm weather. I've been less successful with conical bullets.
Here's two of my targets from the Nordic Championships in 2010 in Orivesi, Finland. We shoot 13 shots at 25 metres at two targets and the best 10 is counting. I think I ended up with 92 points and a bronze in this one. Same load as mentioned above, with T/C Bore Butter over the chamber mouths.
There are six shots on the target (X-X-X-9-9-8). Unfortunately, I messed up on the second target :banghead:
