Had my 3rd Model Uberti Dragoon out the other day, and man what a beautiful piece this is! Used a 45 grain charge of FFFg Goex, a wonder-wad, and a .454 Hornady ball to great success! Scored an 81, 85, and 88x100 on the B-19 NRA BP pistol 25 yard qualification targets.
The weather on Friday was almost a balmy 55 degrees, so I took a piece of the afternoon off from work so that I could go out and make smoke . The custom-built loading stand came in real handy, so I could get uniform pressure and seating of each ball in every chamber. I also chrono'd the load to 1091 FPS.
Just one other thought: a question really; I'm too lazy to look-up the weight of a .454 ball...anybody here know it off of the top of your head and could tell me??
Anybody else get to enjoy that balmy weather??
Thanks as always,
Dave
