"Back in the day", a buddy of mine and I experimented with max range of BP revolvers,and we got pretty surprised.We actually were able to print on a 200 yard rifle target set at 200 yards,and the roundball would pass compleatly thru the 3/4 inch plyboard of the target backing.Used both a New Army and a 3rd model Dragoon with really stiff charges of FFg,.457 balls,and the tiniest dab of grease in the chamber mouth.Shot from a seated position with a two handed hold,took a couple of rounds to get the "drop",but the ol' girls do dance!
