Hello all, I recognize some of the names here from Shotgunworld and a few other boards. I recently bought a used Old Army revolver and have a couple of questions. The tag in the box says it was mfg'd in 1973, and the 4 page booklet says 10-1-72 on the front, it came in an old red and white Ruger box that's in real good shape for it's age. The trigger pull on this one is real light, almost like a hair-trigger. Don't know if that is normal or not, but wouldn't think so as light as this one is. I had thought the hammer spring felt kinda light when I cocked it, but it seems to feel about the same as my Blackhack in 45 Colt (Long Colt) Also wonder about the powder charge. The booklet says you can use all the powder you can stuff in there and still get a lead ball on top of it. :shock: :shock: I have a 30 grain measure that I use to load my 1860 Colt copy, but wonder what is usually the most accurate in these, and about how much will one hold and still seat a lead ball--just for curiosity.
I hope I have put this in the right section, I know it's Ruger but I couldn't find a forum here for black powder pistols.
Thanks
