    New Ruger Old Army – Need help dialing in

    Use to different powder measures and mark the one for COW with masking tape so you know which measure is which. The goal is to get the ball as close to the front of the cylinder as you can. If a pistol shoots high, raise you grip as high as you can. Mark the back strap with a Marks A Lot...

    New Ruger Old Army – Need help dialing in

    Ditch the wad. Cut your powder to 22 grains, put 17 grains of Cream of Wheat on top the powder and set a .457 ball and lube on top of it. It will go in the ten ring. If it shoots high, raise your grip on the revolver as high as you can that will bring the ball down on the target. Pistol is...

    Best revolver nipple wrench

    Tedd Cash is the best that there is.. You might try putting the cylinder is a sonic vibrator and Liquid Wrench. The very best penetrating stuff is BP Blaster. Hose down the cylinder with it and put it in a Baggy for a week. Nipples will come out.

    That is a cylinder loader, not a loading stand. Two different animals.

    Why does a load shoot two separate goups??

    Atmospheric pressure is not going to affect accuracy any more than aligning your target to magnetic north or wetter patches shooting high and drier patches shooting low. He needs to take one rifle and take time to learn it. Chasing all the recommendations mentioned here would be better spent...

    Why does a load shoot two separate goups??

    Atmospheric pressure changes can cause groups to shift up and down. High pressure causes groups to go up and low pressure causes groups to shift down. Need to take a hydrometer with you to the range and watch it carefully between shots. Grouping right and left is caused by the deviation from...

    If I could only have one ML it would be a .45 and a TC Hawken.

    Why does a load shoot two separate goups??

    Flinching, jerking the trigger comes to mind and some folks just cannot shoot.

    First, you have to decide on what you want to hunt, then the folks will point you in the right direction.

    Why does a load shoot two separate goups??

    Pressure on the ball. If you put more pressure on the ball, it will shoot high. If you put less pressure on the ball, it will shoot low. If you put consistent pressure on the ball when loading each shot, it will produce a nice consistent group, all the same height. To produce consistent...
