The TB load was about 75% of case capacity with the 350 gr bullet, and I'm guesstimating only about 1300 fps. I'll be curious to see what the chrono tells me later as I go along. That's pretty slow, especially as the twist is 1 in 36" as close as I can measure with a tight patch - if you look closely it appears the bullets are tipping just a bit.

The BP load, on the other hand, shows nice round holes. With the lighter bullet and guesstimated 1700 fps it's much more likely to be well stabilised with the long twist. The delightfully pristine Henry rifled bore was also a snap to clean even with that small hat full of BP in there.

One happy camper here!! :-)
