41 Johnson

[Old Scout]

Been playing with my '41 Johnson lately. Trying to get a lead bullet load worked out. The rifle seems to shoot best with heavy bullets, around 170 to 200 grn.
To my surprise the rifle seems to like faster burning powder. Groups with 4227, 5744 or 4759 seem to shoot better than 3031 or 4895.
Interesting gun, to bad they dumped all of them in the ocean!

Also been working with a '92 Swiss Ordinance revolver. These are really strange revolvers. You open the loading gate, which disconnects the hammer, then use the trigger to cycle the cylinder for ejection and reload! Works a lot better than the usual gate loader!! Shoots rather well, but is a pip-squeak cartridge ( about like a 32 SWL ).
I plan to campaign this revolver with my K-11 S-R rifle.
