Range report - Colt Walker

I was able to get to the range this afternoon for a little bit and made a lot of smoke with my Uberti Colt Walker. All shots were from 25 yards, standing (see target below). I used 50 grains of Goex 3F with a special lubed conical made by Kaido Ojaama.

Any variations were due to my changing the aiming point and a little rust -- I have not shot a revolver in about six or seven months.

It was nice to take advantage of the unseasonably mild weather...

Paul-- ditto. I took the same Walker as yours to the range this
a.m. -- put 12 round balls thru it. What a hoot!
Fun revolver. Currently using 25gr of 777. Works and cleans up
fine.
