I took a look at the Bounty on Pedersoli's site Blackpowdersmoke. http://www.davide-pedersoli.com/sche...ock-model.html

It's a neat looking gun for sure. Pricey though. Cherry's lists them at $415. http://www.cherrys.com/ped_pist.htm

With a 16" barrel you would be getting darn near rifle velocity. So I see no problem with take down power.

I see they are offered in either .45 or .50 caliber, and the rate of twist in both calibers is 1:18". Now that's intriguing. It got me to wondering how that .45 caliber barrel would do with .40 caliber 200 grain XTPs in 45/40 sabots.

DANGYA! I didn't have a hankering for a ML pistol before you started this thread.
