I bought a New Vaquero, 7 1/2 inch blue in 45LC. Had to file a bit of the front sight off to get the POI correct elevation wise. Now, I'm having a problem with windage. It shoots 3 1/2 inches to the left at 25 yds. Not just with me, but also with some other guys who are really good shooters. The load I like to shoot in my 45's is 7 gr of Herco or 231 with a cast 250 gr LRNFP or 255gr lead Keith. It shoots left with everything, including the factory Cowboy loads.There are only about three ways I know of to correct for windage. 1 is to file the rear notch wider. 2. is to bend the front sight without breaking it and 3 is to tweak the barrel. Don't wanna resort to any of them if I don't have to.
I spoke with Ruger this morning and they gave me a discounted mailing label ( It is over two years old) to ship it back so they can inspect it. They did tell me that Ruger's acceptable standard was 1.5 inches at 15 yds. Think they'll try to get it to shoot POA or just ship it back and tell me its within specs?
