None of them groups is anything to complain about. The one with the Cattleman "could" be because you had too much finger on the trigger and was pushing it over to the left. I'm really bad about that with any Colt style narrow trigger single action.

Thanks.
Actually I have better luck with the Cattleman than with the wide triggerd Vaqueros, Out of the box they have all shot way to the left,if fact every handgun I have shot to the left,I have really been concentrating on finger placement and trigger break to try and fix "my problem". And yes that little trigger does feel a bit strange.
On the Vaquero those were the last 12 shots in the box and with those loads I was getting a bit rattled.
And that was 2 hand offhand not duelist.

I'd be happy with any of those from 25 yds off hand.

I was reading the section on Venturino's book about Schofields yesterday, and wanted one. Your picture isn't helping me, amigo!  |

I ahvent read his book,but from my experience it should be a 45 Schofield,the cylinder is shorter than the Cattleman and the self ejector doesnt work very well with 45 Colt brass. When I can afford it Im going to buy Schofield headstamped brass,should give a bit more leeway in bullet seating and the ejector should work properly.
I have always had a thing for them and wanted one for a long time. The cylinder pin on mine got gummed up and I had to completely strip it and soak the cylinder, the mechanic in me is amazed at how someone so long ago thought of this and made it work.

say, dmize , did you notice in the instruction manual for the Schofield that you were supposed to ship the piece to New Mexico to be tested by "yours truly" ? send it on down, I'll break it in for you - it's a rule......

So those little bitty groups shown in magazines and books arent shot offhand? Taffin does. Y'all familiar with the Chuck Norris jokes/truths? JT jerked the trigger once. The bullet was so scared of the repercussions, it looked for its own kind for comfort (all piled up in the same hole 137 yds away). |

Mr. Taffin does not pull the trigger, it pulls for him!

Always wanted to try a Schofield. How do they point? By the looks they seem similar to a Bisley.
