What height are you hoping for on the sights??? What weight bullets and velocity are you hoping for??

What height are you hoping for on the sights??? What weight bullets and velocity are you hoping for?? Trapr The 2 most accurate cast bullets in 44 caliber for me have been the 429215 GCHP and the 429244 GCHP but this time around I’m also going to try our 640 Termininator HP design. I’m going to group them at 50 and 100 yards and see what I see. As for velocity I will likely not run full tilt loads but maybe a click under. I have plenty other 44 Spl guns I can run heavy loads in. I’m going to see what this sixgun likes. As to the height of the sights themselves first I have to get them level. I was surprised that I could see the Long Range bars as well as I could. I will try 2 or 3 bars and adjust the front sight height accordingly. Since the front sight on the gun now is one of my screw on units it will be easy to modify or swap out. Thanks for your great question. The whole point of this journey has been to experience the road the sixgunners of old traveled. Regulating these sights will be just another exciting path. |

That was my concern or curiousity, to get them as low as possible but still regulated properly. So you’ll be running bars and flipping blades, that makes for lots of different ranges.
Doing one at a time would be my thought, bars first then blades, then bars and blades, it could get confusing.
Looking forward to further reports.

Doing one at a time would be my thought, bars first then blades, then bars and blades, it could get confusing. Looking forward to further reports. Trapr 1. Pick a bullet and a load. 2. “Level” the front and rear so they can be lowered equally. 3. Set windage. Install set screws in the rear base. 4. Decide on 2 or 3 bars to determine sight height. 5. Lower the sights equally in the mill. 6. Set center blade zero at 50 yards. After that I think what I would do is set up on a ranch road and use a steel plate and work backwards to figure what bar would hit where. Then just record that data. I think those numbers could be engraved on the blades….but that’s just a thought. |

Sounds perfect, the writing it down part and then not losing the info is the tricky part. Remembering consistent grip tension throughout is gonna be tough on a long day shooting or over the course of a few days. It’ll be interesting to see if multiple users will have similar results.

Trapr Rifle log books and cheat sheets are old news for me. A couple of strategically stacked sacks of corn in a pick up bed or a portable prairie dog bench on a low trailer and a fairly calm day should do the trick. A laser rangefinder and some spray paint and some patience and some careful shooting and… |

That sounds familiar Fermin, been doing that with my Jackrabbit. Get going and get stalled on something and end up setting it aside for a while and helping my son with one of his projects. Eventually get back to it and chug along again.
