I have a 1860 Army cap and ball revolver. When I pressed the ball into the cylinder, compressed the powder tightly, the balls shot over the target. I noticed that if I barely seated the bullet the POI came down, which makes sense. I am using 26.5 gr of Pyrodex powder and a wad.
How do you tell how far down to seat the ball? How much powder do you use?
Thanks in advance for your help.
