Shot The ROA Today First Time
Finally got to the range today and shot the ROA I just bought off "Gunbroker"
Put the Rubber grips on for slippage. With the rear sight screwed all the way down, and a center hold it shoots OK at 25 yds. I champered the mouths of the chambers as to not shave a ring of lead. More bearing surface this way. Put the trigger over travel set screw in and a trigger shoe and tuned the action.10 shots at 25 yds. one hand un-supported. Load 20 grs Goex FFF "Cream-of-Wheat" filler .457 round ball, CCI no. 11 standard caps. |

When you chamfer the mouth of the cylinder, could it cause you problems when the bullet goes from the cylinder into the barrel?

No I don't have any metel working stuff. I used to work in a tool&die shop
many years ago so have some experence. I just drilled & tapped the hole in the back of the trigger guard for a 10-32 set screw. The trigger shoe is held in place with two small allen set screws. The champering was done with a 45 degree champering tool by hand. It's just a small champer, just enough to keep from shaving lead. The ball is almost flush with the end of the cyclinder after loading due to the "Cream-of-Wheat" filler so it doesen't have to jump too far to engage the forcing cone & rifiling. |
