Every fall I go to Texas hog hunting and this year I have made my mind up to take my 45 Colt blackhawk only. I try to shoot 50-100 rds atleast once a week and have improved greatly.. but I'm still disgusted with my accuracy at 50yds. I have a scoped Contender in .44 and I know the blackhawk with open sights isn't going to shoot as good, but at 50yds with the blackhawk.. it is all I can do to keep 6 shots on a piece of notebook paper. At 25yds I can generally keep all 6 shots in about 2.5 inches, but it REALLY opens up at 50.
What kind of groups do you usually get at 50yds with open sights? Any tips for using the stock blackhawk sights? I know the revolver has more in it and the problem is my shooting. It is a 45 blackhawk with 4 5/8in barrel, reamed cylinder throats, wolf spring kit, trigger/action job, and I'm shooting a 280gr WFN GC with 22gr of H110 and WLP primers.
