Please show us the results of shooting your ROA with 12gr of Swiss #2 - a few of us on muzzleloadingforum and gunboards are interested to see how you get on. Even better if you can pput it on Youtube for us.

For sure,always happy to see sub 2 inch groups at 25yrds with a BP revolver of any sort,some say "no pics and it didn't happen".
Six in the black with 25yrd rifle targets (3"?) are still a proper challenge for most,myself included.

Just had to post a quick message....

First time with the Ruger, with all the chatting and faffing about I actually only managed 14 shots in about an hour and a half, but oh, so much fun ...I'm still grinning

Started with 24gr of Triple 7, wad, ball and no grease - very pleased with the results. Managed about a 6" group (at 20yds), though it was shooting very high (about 2ft above poa) and I have started to bring it down (in the photo, the lower six shots were after dropping the rear sight by 10 clicks). Clean up after was easy & quite enjoyable - I suspect it might become a bit more of a chore after the novelty wears off

There's a video here http://youtu.be/EX6iKfznbs4 (sorry, I forgot to shoot the video 'sideways' )

...and a couple of photos:

I'm lucky, I shoot equally badly with either hand. BTW, did I mention that ALL ROA I've ever seen and shot shoot high? There IS a high foresight, but I gave up trying to find one years ago. Mine is built up with stuff called JB Weld.

Nice shooting, too, especially for a noob to handgun shooting - keep at it, improvement WILL happen but it takes a lot of practice.

Can't help but notice that the backsight in the photo looks as though it's set for lobbing bullets at Zulus at 200 yards......I've just looked at mine, and it's cranked flat and I still shoot high. Won't your sight go down any further?

Nice indoor range there koff koff....

Rob what indoor range were you shooting at there please?
I'm not a million miles away from your location & wondered if it was close.
I shoot at Wedgnock on the weekends mainly but am looking for somewhere closer to shoot weekday evenings also.

Mine is a late model.cherry grips on XRN grip frame. It shoots POA at 25yrds around 10 clicks from lowest, still POA with 220 conical and 30grn with rear right down,front blade doesn't look any taller or out of place.
Looks like you could drive a bus under that rear sight.

Range does look good.
