I cleaned up the "no name" black powder revovler, lubed it, charged it with
25 grains of 3fg Swiss, .454 balls, #11 caps, card wad over powder, no lube over the ball.
It started raining hard just as I capped the thing but benched it
at 25 yards anyway.
I managed to put 5 shots into 2 1/4 inch with a flyer out to 3 1/2 inches.
I think it shoots pretty darned good for the $80 bucks I paid for it.
I'll have a lot of fun with this inexpensive play toy.
I wish I could regulate the fixed sights to hit p.o.a. tho.
It hits 2 inches high & about that to the right.

HI MIKE!!!!!!
