Well I did not do well mainly due to lack of experience shooting those Remington's. After one cylinder full they got super hot, so hot it was not possible to change cylinders so I switched to the other pistol and it got hot which a couple of the shooters told me is a characteristic of the closed top revolvers. So on a target the first 4 or 5 shots were within the area others were shooting but the last two round balls would "fly". After 20 shots I got pretty tired as one handed shooting is harder than it looks so I'll try several things:
- lower powder load from 30 to 20.
- try bullets instead of round balls.
- try shooting as a "single shot" which several shooters had custom single shot percussion pistols, one with a custom made stock that was made for his hand.

- do more research on what it takes to make them shoot as there is a 1858 Remington forum and I and looked at less than 10% of it so far.


But it was FUN!!!
