I have been playing with the Uberti and Pietta repro of the Colt 1861 Navy .36 revolver, and even if I have been shooting black powder for nearly 3 decades now, I could still learn new things thanks to the Ransom rest. I was searching for the ultimate charge, that delivers the best accuracy. Of course this is only one side of the question, but for me, as a target shooter the most important one. All in all, both are capable of match winning scores, so if we can’t find the center of the target, the reason is not the iron but the flesh behind it. Here is the coverage of the final duel!

Well this is my channel and these are my impressions about shooting old and repro blackpowder and cartridge guns. You will find target shooting, hunting, reloading and military history related videos here starring pre 1945 firearms. Since I was a little child I knew I want to be a history teacher. In fact I graduated as one. Later I studied military sciences on university level, and now I am doing my phd in firearms history while I teach military history at the university. That’s my life, my hobby. I hope you’ll enjoy my videos as much I enjoyed making them. Greetings form Hungary, the land of good wines and beautiful women. Oh yes, and please forgive my Hunglish. 😉
