Part 2 of the Ruger Old Army Projectile test

Thank again !!

Again, well done. I have never shot conicals out of my ROA but was always led to believe that the RB's were more accurate. Gong to have to rethink that one. .... :confused:

I also noticed that you did not refer to the use of #10 primers or seating dowel. Just going to assume that is what you used. .... :)

Be Safe !!!
 
Yup. I know I need to repeat some info from one video to another in this series, but I try to avoid too much rehash. I probably should have put that scene in.
 
Not a problem !!

If the folks follow your series, then no problem but if not, they won't get this good info. Again, thank you for your post. .... :)

I'm not sure how much the accuracy results apply to all ROA's since in a previous video about that gun, I believe that it was mentioned that a Shilen barrel blank was used to build it. And it probably has slightly different specifications than a Ruger barrel, especially concerning its length.
Of course, whether the accuracy results are scientific or not, we all love watching Mike make smoke any way that he can! ;)

That is true. the 14", octagon barrel was machined from a Shillen match grade barrel blank.

It also has a fully tuned action. What can I say, it is a real custom gun.

I'm working out a loan of a pair of stock ROAs, one in 7.5" and the other in 5.5" from a pard in California. After I get them I'll run some tests to see how the stock guns perform.
 
I'd certainly be interested in what the stock Old Army's do!
I'm a little guy and the 7 1/2" barrel on mine is enough! That thing would probably pull my pants down! :eek:
