Made it to the range today with only 44 and 45 caliber stuff (RSB 44, Citadel 1911 3.5" and the Ruger #1.
I took the scope off the #1 and shot it at 50 yards. Everything was about 4" low and 4" to the left. Really could not get the gun to move over that much. I was shooting off a rest and could not get the sights lined up correctly. Then tried shooting standing up and shot it better. The 2 loads that I was shooting were: 39.0 gn of RL7 under a Missouri 405 lead bullet and 63.0 gn of H335 under a Nosler 300 ballistic tip. There is about 500' sec difference in the loads but the Nosler had less felt recoil.
I am thinking about putting a peep sight on the gun if I can find one that does not need to be drilled and tapped. If not, then I will go with a scope.
