Target was that 16 inch Ballistic Gel block behind the BH. Went in 14 inch which is perfect!

Ahh, I see the BG now, missed it first time. What was the length of the Wound Channel?

Good load and beautiful Bisley!! I've got a Smith 24-3 but had been on the lookout for a 4 5/8" like yours but never stumbled on to one. Enjoy!

Thanks! Yeah I found it on Bud's Guns a few years ago and it is a nice shooter. Those 44 rounds will be perfect for my 1872 Colt belly popper gun project!
