So today I got to the range with a workup of loads for my Uberti Colt Walker. I think this might be my new skirmish revolver. If only it wasn't so darn heavy!
I worked up loads using 30, 35, 40, and 45 grains 3F Shuetzen, using cream of wheat as a filler. I got the best groupings I've gotten out of any of my black powder revolvers.
I accidentally loaded one of my 40 grain loads with 5 35 grain loads so I did not shoot it on the 35 grain course of fire, hence only 5 shots in that target. But it made a fantastic group.
It's hard to tell it from the picture, but on the 45 grain target there are 3 shots in one hole and 2 shots in another hole.
This was shooting off of a bench.
I'm going to make up some more cartridges in the 35-45 grain range and try it again to see which one consistently makes the best group.
I love shooting the Walker. It gets a lot of attention on the range.
