Colts allways shot high, my 25 year old Pietta 1860 was dead on at 55 yards & quite a few friends that have Colts say the same thing "they shoot high" but both of my 1858's shot low with Ball, maybe they were orriginally set up to shoot conical?
Now my normal every day load for either is:
.457 144gr. Ball
30gr. FFFG Goex
#11 Caps.
As far as I remember between 15-22gr. of FFFG was the norm for a .36 caliber loading.
