Hello Sweden here again guys. I have took advice i got and shot in my old original 1858 Remington New Model Army carfully. I shot 6 shots with 15 gr of 777 and a .454 roung balls - One week later i shot it again with 20 gr of 777 and.454 round balls - One week later i shot it with 25 gr of 777 and .454 round balls.
I shot at a board with a big X on it from 10 meters. My problem is that it shot to high every time no matter what load i hade in it. It even shot a bit to the left. The bit to the left must be ma fault, but the shooting to high ever time no matter what the load was is i am pretty sure becouse of the front sight.
Or !!! is it that the sight is shot it at 75 yards acording to "Wikepedia" and i am just standing to close ? - Now i have it loaded with 30 gr of 777 and .454 round balls and ready to shoot it.
Would ALL the ORIGINAL 1858 Reemington New Model armt revolvers shoot to high i one was standing that close to the target ( 10 meters ). MUST i change the front sight on it to a higher one ?
