Here is a group of six shots I fired yesterday afternoon at 40 yds using the barrel sights on an El Tigre “44 Largo” (44-40) 1892 copy, which I believe was made in the 1920’s. Starline cases, Win LP primer, John Kort’s great 43-215C boolit @12 BHN, lubed with my home brew recipe, over 8.5 grains WW231. Group is about 15/16” center to center; I was resting over the hood of my truck.
I fired the one sighter shot, then adjusted the sights a bit and fired the remaining six without checking the target. My eyes have gotten pretty bad with age and I had some trouble seeing the front sight on the target - needless to say, I was pleased with the results.
It never ceases to amaze me how accurate some of these old guns are.
