Just a very simple report tonight. 1 plain sheet of cardboard and 1 goal. 24 rounds in as tight a group as I can at 50 yards. Off hand standing. Open factory sights. Black Hills 45 Colt ammo. 250 gr LFN.
92F with a slight breeze. Rifle shot great and this ammo is pretty smooth too.
Site seems to be OK. Load issue should be resolved now.

Simple range report.....superb off hand shooting!
Agreed that the Black HIlls is good ammo, too.
Cool photos of target and rifle, RR.

Sweet. Very nice target.
You can tell a lot about the character of a man...
by the way he treats those who can do nothing for him.
I don't look back at the things I can no longer do, I just look forward to the things I still can.

That's right there with anything I can do with open sights, but thanks for the nice comment, Henry. Really is a target that I'd be proud to claim. Nice work, RR.Henry88 wrote:That is approaching North Country Gal shooting prowess, RR.......

Re: July 29th 1860
Velocity I'm not sure. I'd guess about 1100 fps out of my rifle. But that's a guess. Does that sound right??? It is very smooth to cycle.
Thanks for the kind words.

Re: July 29th 1860
It's funny, I thought to myself before I fired the first shot that I have to try to "set the bar" for the rest of the shots.My very first hole in the paper was the one right below the "4" that I wrote on later. It's just about dead center of the paper. 
All the rest were trying to hit the same mark, why is it so difficult???? Every shot after that was low. I think the one dead center psyched me out.
Although the groups were close in spots, they were not where I wanted them!!!!!

The 1860 , 1866 , and 1873 with a straight wall case is the smooth action made . There is no firearm that can beat it or come near it .RanchRoper wrote: It is very smooth to cycle.

P.S. the more you use it the smoother it will get ....
