Colt Navy: Finding The Best Triple Seven Load
Dustin Weeger tests Triple Seven powder loads in an 1851 Colt Navy revolver at 45 feet. He evaluates 15, 18, and 21-grain loads for accuracy and velocity. The 18-grain load demonstrated the best balance of accuracy and consistency, with an average velocity of 839 ft/s and a group size of approximately 2 inches. The 15-grain load was also consistent but less accurate, while the 21-grain load showed poor consistency and accuracy, suggesting it's an overcharge.
