    revolver accuracy

    I just bought a Pietta 1860 army revolver and I am curious just how much and what tweaking can one do to get the most from it? I've been shooting a flintlock (rifle) and I experimented with different patch material, kinds of lubes and ratios to get the best groups. Does it come down to just...

    Settling in

    Got out to make some smoke today and try larger loads, I felt like a little kid at Christmas couldn't calm down wasn't thinking straight. It was like my body lost connection with my brain, I'd do this wrong move that not follow through. Then after realizing this I'd get a good shot then do it...

    A touch of rust

    Apparently I'm a bad flint owner. Haven't shot for a while and had a look at it today and saw it. It's on the face of the frizzen, A little on the hammer, and some dots on the barrel.I thought I cleaned it up well but obviously not.I didn't think there was anything you put on the frizzen to...

    Change in group

    At 50yds I have a very tight group,x and tens. When I shot at 75yds things opened up. 5 in a 6" circle w/ 1 in the 3"circle and 4 in a 6" circle and two in an 8" circle.More or less all around it. Would things tighten up if you increased the charge amount and if so will it not mess with the...

    Flippin the flint

    I put the bevel down when I started using black English flints cause that's how the flint that was in the t/c Hawkens was positioned when I bought it.I see alot of people say that the bevel should be up, when I do that the frizzen opens and allows the flint to go down but it doesn't flip all the...

    Patch material

    It would seem I have a dilemma,I bought a pack of patches shot them and got good accuracy with them.They were lubed but felt dry, nothing came off on your fingers when you rubbed them.Ran out of said patches bought the "same" patches, very wet with lube = no accuracy now. :cursing: So I got a...

My last grouping stayed within a three inch circle at 66yds.This is all from the bench(gotta make sure it's going where you want it) Next time out if things go as well I'll start shooting off hand.Which is really what I'm...
