Ruger Old Army ..Do they tend to shoot High like the Pietta's in 1858 Models with Balls or Conicals
I would really prefer to shoot conicals accurately and would like guidance on weights and molds to acomplish this
Thanks for any and all responses

I don't think I ever adjusted the sights on mine in 40+ years. Might have, but don't remember it. I shoot only round ball, conicals not as accurate IME.

I have two ROA - one older blue model and one newer S.S. model and they both shoot where they are aimed.

Mine shoots to POA with balls and high with various bullets. You can contact Ruger and they’ll send you the .45 Colt front sight blade. I’ve had mine a long time and have yet to swap it out. I really need to as I created a very heavy bullet for it and would like it to be easier to aim.
