Have gone out a few times in past week with the Remis in 36 and 44, mostly just shooting the steel discs from 100' away. I can't hear jack chit, but the other guy said he could.
I got out some paper targets today, set at 50'. I am ready for a home invasion. I hit minute of silver dollar with the iron sighted pieces. Out all 6 from the 44 inside the center circle. The 36 was high and right on 4 shots, right on one and straight up high on the last. But, only 3 inches.
I was pleasantly surprised with this and it was roundball, not conical.
My only issue is seating the 36 RB. The seating plunger has a ledge that stops it in the cylinder before ball is seated firmly. 44 allows full pressure seat on powder. I can tell this at firing, it is a very small delay, like flintlock delay. I was loading a tad south of 20 grains Pyrodex. Report was very light, so perhaps I could load up up a little, but accuracy at 18-19 was awful good.
Just an FYI.
