Accuracy load for 1858 Rem. New Army ?
I'm new to cap & ball type revolvers, have a Pietta 1858 New Army and looking for accuracy.
So far I've loaded .451" store bought balls and .454 " balls that I cast with a Lee mold, I used #10 Remington caps and 20 grs. of Pyrodex P, a wool wad, and enough COW to get the ball close to the face of the cylinder.
What can I do to reduce the size of my groups ?
Has anyone used mini balls, or REAL bullets in this type gun, and if so, what were the results.
Any advice will be appreciated,
Rich
