gen 1 colt SAA shoots left

[rimfire458]

Wouldn't You know. Just as I find my most consistently perfect load it throws em 3" left at 20. I guess changing load is the only cure? Or just compensate, although I wonder what my math will be like when pulling on a 400+ pound bruin. I'd rather it hit the mark

Aim right. Or bend the front sight a bit. Or file the side of the rear sight groove in the receiver. You left handed by any chance? - dan

I had 2 different cowboy loads of 231 that shot to the left in my Colt SAA - 45colt. Tried a load with 700X and now it shoots straight down the pipe. I really can't figure it out.....perhaps pressure related or something because all 3 loads used the same 200gr cast bullet. I'd try some different loads before you go and bend or file something.

"...will be like when pulling on a 400+ pound bruin..." You try it on Yogi and you'll never know. Yogi is far faster than you'll ever be.
No cartridge, out of any firearm, will guarantee a one shot stop.
Have a look at this.
