Heritage Rough Rider 22lr, 22WSM accuracy question.

[Xbassman]

With pistol in vise, 6 22lr loaded, 25' I am dead center accurate. I install 22 mag cylinder, 6 shot, 25', same pistol vise, I am 1.5" right & 1" low. Makes no sence to me!! Any help? If I adjust 22 msg shots then 22lr will be off

The LR and WMR are never going to have exactly the same point of aim because they're different cartridges. The LR is probably shooting slightly higher because it's slower exiting the barrel, so the pistol's slight recoil is acting longer on the bullet. I'm not sure why the left and right difference other than your barrel is just handling the different calibers differently. You may find some left and right difference even in the same caliber when using different brands of ammo.

I miss my heritage convertible. Wish I'd kept it. Think I gave $156 for it a a sandwich and a drink at LGS years ago. I may look for another. Mine shot to the left with 22lr.
