Wow! I just fire the first shots through my Rossi 45LC and was able to manage sub 3" groups @ 50yds with the stock open sites. For me that's pretty darn good. One thing I did notice is that the lighter the bullet the larger the group. My best groups were right under 2" with 405gr Beartooth cast bullets. You might try using heavier weight bullets or switch from jacketed to cast or visa versa.

What distance and what ammo are you shooting?

What size are your groups?

I've found my 357 rossi to be fairly sensitive to how it's held. meaning, the more consistant the grip and amount of pressure held against my shoulder ect the better it grouped.
