I have used mine for the past 3 years and finally won in 2007. I won with a 67 score so this tells you the caliber of our group but its all fun. I use a slip on leather recoil pad to add some length. I use data from the IMR handbook and use both a 1 oz. and 1 1/8 load under 6000 psi. Both of my Colt 1883's have 28 in. tubes and would prefer a 30 for this but a 28 is a dream to handle. Both of my 1883s are a grade 1 ( I may sell one) but the later one made has a flat bottom pistol grip instead of the round. Yours has a style I have yet to see. Did you say what length barrels you have? Mike
