Hi Fellows
Do these bullets fly straight? and do you use about 25grs of powder to push the bullet along. Back in the eighties when I first got my 58 couldn't figure out why I couldn't hit anything with it. After putting up a target and six on paper the groups were terrible, I kept at it to the point I was done trying, a friend of mine wanted it, and I sold it to him. Year or so later went by his place and ask why he never shot it, told me he just wanted one to hang on the wall I ask what he'd take for it, and he sold it back to me. Come to find out he was kind of afraid of it. Lot of people are. They're scared they'll blow up in ya hand, anyway took it back to the house loaded up, had one of those .44 mag steel swinging targets out about 30 yards or so. Don't remember why but only put 20grs of powder in it, started taking aim, pull the trigger. Bang, bang, bang. The first one hit the target, I thought it was just a lucky shot, but it kept hitting all six shots hit that steel with a hard smack. went back to the paper targets to see how it was grouping, and wow that rascal was pretty much hitting in the same spot all shots. With 30grs it will group ok. with 25grs it will shoot all rounds in the 1 1/2" groups. With 20grs its still putting all rounds in the same 1 1/2 hole out to the 30 yard mark. Those are free hand not bench and sand bags. From what I learned from this revolver is that after 30grs of powder, the groups really start to open up to where it's hard to hit anything. So is it the same way with the bullets.
