No argument with that, but I was talking about the optimum zero yardage, not the best distance to judge the performance of the revolver or load.
Acutally, I would sight in at the second zero yardage, 38 yards, not the first zero yardage, 7 yards. Now you have a revolver that hits within 0.7 inches of the point of aim from zero to 45 yards and any distance in between.
Also, the above only applies to revolvers that have the sight .75 inches above the centerline of the bore, i.e. a ROA flattop with adjustable sights.
I measured a Colt 1860's sights and they are about 0.4 inches above the bore line so it would obviously have a different optimum zero yardage.
