I'm working my way toward reaching my 100 yard goal with the Colt Walker. But this time with the period correct Picket Ball conical bullet. It's a frustrating bullet to load due to its odd shape, but proved to be accurate. I went 6 for 6 on the steel plate at both 25 and 50 yards. Because all of the 100 yard bays at the range were taken and the final test had to wait, I altered my plans and compared the performance of the Picket Ball to a .457 round ball just the see the difference. That also went fairly well. Knowing that percussion revolver sights aren't exactly made for long range shooting, I'm pleased with this morning at the range. Also check out the perfectly timed video frame showing the powder flash from the barrel, the front of the cylinder, and the nipple all at the same time.
