Those are some great groups, mec. I wanted to order a Walker or one of the dragoon models from Dixie but was sorta scared off of them by the dimensions given in the catalog. I bought a Pietta 1858 Remington and it is really a good shooter. It is probably a better shooter than I am. I wonder how much the diameters vary between individual guns of the same model and maker and how many were miked before they settled on what the various measurements were.
That would be a good test for some gun writer to do, compare accuracy to chamber/groove diameter and determine how far apart they can be and still group well.
