Hi !
I used to make some tests with my Dragoon (Uberti) and conical Lee bullets.
Powder load (S2) : 34 gr.
As I know this conical bullet is not fully suitable for low twist barrel, I wanted nevertheless make them work.
With that powder load and the lubricated bullets (and nothing more), the results were very good at 25 yards, even better than round balls.
But at 50 yards, the bullet dispersion is very bad and the main impacts about one target hight higher than at 25 yards.
When using round balls at 50 yards the results are perfect !
So why these troubles at 50 yards ?
I do believe that the twist movement is not powerful enough.
I have no idea to understand why the gun shoots higher at 50 Yards than at 25Â ? :hmm:
Does any one already performed the same shootings ?
I will be very interested to share any point of view on that point.
All the best.
Philippe
