Back to The Land .22s

[Midnitemo]

Must admit i haven't had a go with the ruger or the rogers/spencer which are said to be the best of there kind , my experience is with the remington 1858 and various colt replica's by pietta/uberti and pedersoli .... when i say i can't hit much i meant i can't produce meaningful groups at 20m...i always get a flyer or 2 that wreck the group...thats not to say i couldn't consistently hit central body mass at that range...so if i could have one i would for the old tech reasons timelord has mentioned , 1858 remington i liked better , the colt seemed to be a really sloppy shooter, don't like the peg securing system and lack of a top strap.

the one shot every 30 seconds i was refering to the specialised target single shot muzzle loaders with the anatomical grips(state of the art target pistols)

i had issues with the caps too , sometimes they fail sometimes they split on firing and fall off the nipple causing the cylinder to jam,tried 10's and 11's pinching them when you fit them nothing seems to work , i guess its just a reliability issue that you have to live with, these little niggles and the rate of fire issue is why they were superceeded in the first place...but i'd still have one...if i could.
