44 cap & ball question
Hi everybody, just curious if anybody has done any research into the energy of a 44 cap & ball load? Kind of looking for specific number at muzzle and 50 yds. Failing that info, any ideas on how to measure the energy on a shot? I know it'll penetrate so many pine boards at so many feet, but I'm looking for an actual number....

RE: 44 cap & ball question
You need a chronograph.
MV x MV x Ball weight in grains
Divide the above by 450,240 for foot-lbsmuzzle energy.
Cheaper than a chrony, get a book that lists loads and velocities.
