I fired a Colt 3rd gen sig series 44 dragoon/gold and silver plated/ probably a first series type at a 4X4 salt treated post helping suport the interior of my barn-shop at 15 feet away. I have shot some navy 36's and they went about 1/2 inch into it. Tht dragoon w/ close to 50+/- grains of trip 7 blew right through it and also went through the back wall which was probably another 15 feet. WOW!! And it almost tore the intire post down. I had no idea they had this punch. But I remember reading years ago that the texas rangers wanted to keep these horse pistols instead of using the new 73 peacemakers. UM
