    Help with globe front sight

    What group sizes do you get at 200yd with heavy 45cal bullets

    ResearchPress, I shoot off the bench for max accuracy these days. I can't go prone anymore (like a lot of things you can't do when you get old, darn now I need a beer). but I was only 3% away from master in high power rifle, 600 yards is a long way with open sights on a M1 Garand.

    Hello, I'm wondering what are you all's group sizes at 200 yards with 45cal bullets 4oog up to 500+, I'm getting 4" groups/2 MOA (5shot groups) and think that surely a different gun would do better. Please tell me what rifle you use and weight of your bullet. Thanks

    Please talk me out of a 1861 Navy

    The only ones I'd recommend were made in the 60-70 (I only know about uberti). 1861's made after then used the 44 barrel for the 1860 and bored a 36cal out of it. So what you get is a pistol that is very muzzle heavy and doesn't handle like a 1851 !!! Good luck

    How do I prevent carbon ring under nipple?

    Actually, seriously, I was referring to blowing down (not up, lol) the barrel after each shot in hope that the carbon ring would not form. Does anyone think this will work?
