black powder handgun barrel. I had planned to use it on our bison herd here in Arizona. I was using 3 of the 50 grain pellets. I don't remember the bullet weight. It was very accurate but hell to hang on to. I showed it to our local game & fish guy and told me it was neat but illegal. He said black powder handguns were illegal on any big game. That bummed me out as I didn't check on the laws before I built it, so I posted it on here and sold it. Just in the last year or so black powder handguns have been legalized for big game as long as they reach a certain power level which mine would have had no trouble doing.
No big deal, you live and learn.
