The top photo is my first six shots. I held on the bottom center at first. Then the O when I learned that it shot to POA. My handloads with 231 powder and a powder coated 110 G LSWC.

I like W 231 in the 32-20, using a 115 grain 32-20 bullet.
Seems like it was pretty efficient- not much unburned powder and it shot to poa.
You powder coat jacketed bullets?

No that would be pretty crazy. In 32 WCF I shoot powder coated LSWC that come from the local reloading store. I think it's an Ideal Mold - the bullets are around 110 grains after powder coating. I see I said JHP in my original post which was incorrect.
Point of aim is a 5”-6” non group ? they shoot much better than that , skip the PC non sense which does nothing for accuracy ,bullet fit is much more important. Measure a fired piece of brass that’s you’re bullet diameter.

Measuring fired brass is not the way that you determine bullet diameter. You do that by slugging the bore. Plinking offhand is not a test of accuracy
But more of the shooter. There isn’t enough data here to be critiquing someone’s pistol.
Are you buying bullets or throwing your own?

Looks like fun. Were you able to close the group at all?
I like W 231 in the 32-20, using a 115 grain 32-20 bullet.
The place where I buy the cast bullets sells them at 100, 110 and 120 grains. So far the fixed sight Colt Army Special is better than I thought considering how old I am and new to reloading this cartridge. Pretty happy with the results the first time shooting it.
