Pietta target pics

Here are some average targets shot at 25 yards from a bench.

I have found that resting my left thumb on the left side of the rounded part of the receiver has moved my groups to the right. I am going to file the right side of the rear sight slot to help move the groups more to the right. Now if I can figure out what causes the sometimes low hits I will be getting somewhere. 23 Grains 777 FFFG, Hornady .454 ball, Eastern Maine 50 cal unlubed wad (I don't have any revolver wads).

Not bad at all. :thumbsup: Were you using a 6 o'clock hold on the target or did you have to aim low to get them to print that close to the bull?

Runnball,

I was aiming at the center of the target. The hits were a little low left. For me this is really good shooting with a handgun. I will probably file the sights after I settle on a load, but that is along way off. I really like this gun.
