Those muzzleloading handguns only have a 14" barrel and that distance is shortened (maybe) by the length of the breech plug.
I shoot long range accurately, which you already know and have seen the target photos at 400 and 500yds.
After picking up thousands of fired sabots, I would never state that the sabot slipped 6-8" inches in the barrel before engaging the rifling.
I meant to say casing on the handgun bullets. But actually, it doesnt matter. Its all about understanding bullet obturation. And in a pistol, the bullet obturates before leaving the casing.
