I went shooting last monday with the old man. I brought my steel framed ASM '58, he had his '51 brasser. Both are .44. In total we put 36 rounds through the '58 and 30 through the '51. I'm a better shot with a handgun than he is. That said, my shooting with '58 was going well while he was not doing so well with '51. We switch guns and he put his first one in the red. Four others were a little low but tight. Not sure where #6 hit. I believe it was right and even with the bull. Anyway, great shooting. So I shot a cylinder from his '51. One bull and five right under it.
He never shot my '58 before. Both are great guns. I prefer shooting a colt but like the frame of Remington better. I guess my point is, both are great and quite easy to shoot.
We shot from 50ft. Triple 7. Ox wads over the powder. '51 was loaded at about 20 gr. The '58 was loaded about 23 gr. I used .454 balls and he had .451.
We are casual shooters and go out to have fun. Both guns are great fun. And both shoot just fine.
