I took my Winchester 1885 Low Wall in .32 WCF made in 1889 out today for a work out. I shot some of my handloads, Lyman 115 grain cast bullet with a mild charge of 2400, just above minimum. At 25 yards, the bullseye was the same diameter as the front sight so it was tough to see. The group size speaks for itself, the empty case by the three shot group is a .45 GAP.
The bison target was shot at 50 yards, hard to see it in those pics, but the group is a little more than an inch in diameter. I shot that group off of my shooting sticks. Overall, not too shabby for a gun made almost 20 years before the first Model T rolled off the assembly line.
