Range Report -- Walker

PaultheWall · September 1, 2009, 01:30 PM

Got to the range today with my Uberti Colt Walker. I tried out bigger balls this time -- .457 Hornady round balls. I had been using .454 and they were not shaving as much lead as I'd like.

Below is my target shot from 25 yards. All shots were made standing using a two-handed grip. I used 45 grains of Goex FFFG, wonder wad and the .457 balls. This group was a lot tighter than what I was getting with the .454s. So, I am going to use the .457s.

Good shooting!
Especially when the average distance in a fatal gunfight is 22 feet, that will do the job.
Especially with 45 grains of powder, what a magnum load!
I would hate to be on the wrong end of that cannon.

They are a blast to shoot! With mine, if I shoot really stout loads (nearly 60 grs) the loading lever flops down sometimes. A rubber band around the barrel and lever looks goofy, but does the trick.
