G-MAN Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 How many shooters do you know who can take a cap and ball revolver, loaded with an undersized patched ball, and hit a target offhand at 80 yards? "> " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> Quote
Pablo Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 On top of old smokey! The thing that surprises me is the velocity. Not bad for a big old beast.I wonder if he even measured one of the balls? Thanks - that was cool. Quote

Not bad for a big old beast.I wonder if he even measured one of the balls? Thanks - that was cool. The Dragoon was a powerful pistol. With a full charge of powder it could come close to matching the ballistics of a modern 44 Magnum. The Colt Walker he mentioned held even more powder and tests have shown that at max load it did match the power of the 44 Mag: 1200 ft/sec and 500 ft/lbs. Quote
