It likes em hot! As you will hear in the video (makes me sound funnier than normal ) it is loaded with 40 grains of Pyrodex P - with a lubed wad and Hornady .454" round ball. Pretty hot - and proved pretty accurate - 3.5" at 25 yards.
I tried some Lee 200 grain conicals in it and it didn't like em - at least with the load that I tried.
My Uberti dragoon on the other hand loved them with 45 grains of Pyrodex P and a wad.
Oh, and the 58 prefers #10 caps which were snug and worked great.
Here's a pic of the gun/target:
That was with a 6 oclock hold - I adjusted the rear sight to the right a bit and now it's spot on. Love the sights on this pistol!
Here's a couple of dragoon pics:
The dragoon target shows two 6-shot groups - the one on the left was with a point of aim directly below the group on the bottom edge of the paper and the second group (tighter) on the right is off-hand with point of aim center, bottom edge of the paper - so it's shooting about 12" high at 25 yards but windage is good.
