Single-Sixer
Not happy yesterday after shooting at the NRA range. The Blackhawk would not group at all. I was trying a field position, resting elbows on the shelf, but not anything else. No, this is not the most stable, but I was planning for worst case. All sight pictures were uniform. At 15 yards three shots were within three inches. At 25 yards I missed the target a time or two, or two bullets went into one hole more than once.
Revolver has Belt Mountain base pin. Clement gold dot front sight. Bowen target rear. Bowen reamed cylinder bores to suit 0.4525 lead.
Was shooting 225 g 45 Colt Hornady flex tip rounds.
Cylinder to barrel gap checks as 0.002 go, 0.0025 no go on all six holes. Checked with hammer cocked then lowered as if firing.
Barrel was free from copper fouling as best I could see.
I am thinking operator error, recoil anticipation, thrusting forward and down?
