Great day at the range.

Ok, is there really bad days at the range?

Was able to get out and shoot my walker qite a bit again yesterday. I was stuck at the 25yd range, but was really able to dial in the walker. As I have heard here with other shooters, I am getting spot on results with 50 grains pyrodex. I am not using a wad and top off with crisco. I was able shoot 24 rounds with no build up issue at all. After that I had to pull the gun apart due to getting a cap wedged in the hammer.

I was able to put pretty consistant 4 out of 6 rounds on the bull. It does shoot about 1" to the right at 25yds so had to compensate.

My loading time is pretty fast now that I have my pistol stand, but all the questions from on lookers still slows things down between every set. :wink:

Hey Rikeman!

Any time that you can shoot 50 grains of powder in your hand is a good day, indeed! :thumbsup: Glad to hear or your success with your Walker! Continued good shooting!

I had mine out at competition last week. Did O-K, but didn't win the match. Did have the biggest booooom though!

Yeah I bet! Nothing I have ever shot at the range attracts attention like the walker!

I am headed back to the range this weekend to shoot some with my .54 Hawken. I am going to do some 100yd work with the walker as well. Should be fun! :thumbsup:

Remember to not aim too high with your Walker, as you might miss the target frame altogether! Those things were sighted-in for 75-100 yards! I found out where mine is shooting at that distance by aiming at the center of mass of a Police PPC silohuette target!

Last February (13 months ago) I hit a gong at 135 yards with mine using the same 50 grain loading of 3Fg Goex that I use for pistol competitions. The gong is two Scott air tanks welded together, donated by one of our members who's a Fireman. I just aimed for the top third of the set of tanks, held steady and let her go! That nine inch barrel is sure accurate :thumbsup: !

Good luck with your testing

I have read your previous reviews about that.....I plan to use 50 grains and my initial shots I was planning to aim dead center and see where it comes out......If anything, I expect it will only be slightly low from POA.

Like you said, I expect that 9" barrel to be very accurate out to 100yds. (As long as I do my part :wink: )
