Horse pistol(s).....

That's how I loaded my first Ruger Old Army back in the day. I THINK it was 30 grains by volume of Pyrodex P with two .457" balls, one on top of the other, and Wonderlube or whatever it was over the front of the cylinder. When I eventually unloaded it, the accuracy was very decent. Later my favorite load was actually a Lee mold conical over a snort of Especial de Caça. Sure wish I'd had a chronograph back then to know what kind of velocity it gave me. That ROA recoiled like a Blackhawk 44 Magnum with that load.
