Last weekend I was at a competition at our usual skirmish haunt, the range at the Brierfield Ironworks State Park. There is a gong on the right-most edge of the field about 120 yards away from the firing line, up on the backstop burm.
I was shooting 25 yard revolver, which was set up on the opposite end of the firing line, the left-most of the firing line. So as the crow flies, it was about 140-150 yards to the gong.
Having put 5 rounds into the target with my Uberti 1858 New Model Army Remington, I squeezed off the last one at the gong. A tiny "ting!" greeted our ears as a .457 round ball propelled by a mere 18 grains of 3F Goex connected with steel.
