Failure is not an Option
Mine will shoot any of the usual 45 Colt cowboy combinations. Just expect the action to be really smooth and the gun to put them together tightly on the target. I do love an El Pat Comp.
KE4GWE - - - - - - Colt 1860, it just feels right.
I’d love to see photos when it comes in.
Have the exact same pistol...nice addition and congrats!

8 grains Unique under 255 grain bullet. 7.5 grain Unique under 230 grain bullet also nice.
To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, the trouble with many shooting experts is not that they're ignorant; its just that they know so much that isn't so.
My 1873 Peacemaker loves 6 grains of Trail Boss behind a .454 255gr boolit.

6 gr. of Red Dot under a 255 grain Ideal/Lyman 454-190 shoots great out of my 7 1/2" Uberti Cattleman.
Congrats - you'll love the one you're getting! And we'd love to see pictures when you get it!
Like bedbug said 6gr of red dot under a 250 up to a 300gr slug is freakishly accurate out of the 6 45 colts I've shot them out of. For me the 300gr. Was the most accurate and easy to shoot

Never fired a El Patron. But I can say i love and trust my Uberti Cattleman so much, that it is one of my top "every day carries".

Mine likes 9.0gr Herco under the 454190 cast soft with SPG lube.
Got a .22 .30 .32 .357 .38 .40 .41 .44 .45 .480 or .500 S&W cylinder that needs throats honed? 9mm, 10mm/40S&W, 45 ACP pistol barrel that won't "plunk" your handloads? 480 Ruger or 475 Linebaugh cylinder that needs the "step" reamed to 6° 30min chamfer?
