Hi all,
I just fired my new (used) 2nd gen Colt 1860 and am a little dismayed at the results. At about 8 yards, the groups are about 4" high and about 4" to the right. I'm sure at 25 yds, I couldn't hit a 4x8 sheet of plywood. The groups, however are impressive with most of the rounds touching each other. I was using cleanshot pellets (30 gr equivalant) round balls .454, no wad and lube on top. I am fairly new to this and I'm sure I am missing something. Could the wedge have anything to do with my problem? I was messing with it the other day and discoversd that it matters how far you tap it back or the cylinder wont turn. Other than that, no clue. Any suggestions greatly appreciated-
Thanks,
Scott :?
