My revolver seems very accurate. Don't know why but I expected it to be less accurate. Barrel is rifled.
Two range trips so far and every shot but one hit the center area of a paper plate. The one that missed hit the far side of the paper and was the first or second 34 grain shot I took.
Not much change in poi from 24 to 34 grains at 25 yards but the boom is bigger
With 34gr of powder, wad, and ball in that order the ball still seats well inside the chamber. 24gr loads and I couldn't hardly see the ball once loaded. Revolver has ram built in and I've been very careful to make sure bullets were seated solidly. From what I've read air spaces sound bad.
How do you guys clean your bp firearms? I've read that warm soapy water and lots of oil is the way to go. So far I've been cleaning it like I would a normal firearm, using bp solvent, brushes, and running patches till they stay clean. Then lots of oil.
I don't like the idea of sticking it in water.
