Conical Bullet For Ruger Old Army Revolver.

[loiner1965]

Not having a .44 Sp case handy, can you measure that load in WEIGHT, please? Remembering, all the time, that T7 does NOT like to be compressed.

usually its between 12 and 13 gns
edit
this is what people find the most accurate but i heard folk using 40 gns of it

A charge of 13grns (weighed) of Hodgdon 777 with a lubricated wad and a .457 swaged rather than a cast ball also works for me. I find the Old Army a bit too heavy to shoot with a one hand precision stance, but do quite well with a two handed hold. Even though this might be considered a light load, it provides enough recoil and noise while still being comfortable to shoot.
