Accuracy? Egads! Simply horrible. I shot two cylinders full of Magtech 250gr cowboy loads just to warm up and have a frame of reference and, as always with my 3.75" Montado, I shoot about 4" groups off hand at 15 yards but with the reloads I was all over the paper...and I do mean ALL over it. So we're talking like maybe 14" groups! If you could even call it a "grouping"...

Oly;
I called it patterning instead of grouping when I was using APP. Your experience pretty much matches my own. After less than stellar results out of a '66 Carbine, '73 short rifle, AWA Lightning, and an Armi Sport Sharps; I relegated it to shotgun shells; and BP is cheaper, so......................... I don't buy it any more.
The only subs I use now for my 44-40 rifle cartridges are my fast dwindling stock of Pinnacle, and the bargain basement T7 I've stockpiled. Pistols are C&B, so only fffg BP get used in them; and shotgun shells get the cheapest ffg BP I can find.
