Range Report; Schofield

[The Swede]

Howdy folks! The surprise Birthday gift my dear wife gave me finally made it out to the range! I shot 250 gr. bullets over 35 gr. fffg Goex. The revolver performed flawlessly! I had been reading quite a few posts about how Schofield's have binding issues after a few cylinder loads of BP. I figured the binding issues would be similar to my Remington replicas, so I was not to worried. I'd just clean her up a bit between stages.
I decided before going to the range (actually a local match) that I would lube the gun before going out. I used "Lubriplate" grease to lube the base pin area. I shot 5 stages without one hiccup!! No binding what so ever! In fact, the cylinder spun as freely as it did before the shoot.
I had a few misses before I took the time to sight in proper like... This revolver is accurate, and fun to shoot!


It's the gift that keeps on giving.
