One thing I forgot to mention in the report guys. After I finished shooting all of those round balls, and just for grins, I tried Ed Mehlig's 350 grain .451 conicals in the gun. They were loaded over 65 grains GOEX FFFg with 1/8" felt wad. The bullets fit the bore well and I was wondering how they would behave in that 1:48" twist.

Well, I only took two shots. They both keyholed the target at 25 yards and even with only 65 grains of powder recoil was brutal in the little gun. No more of that.
