aligning the bullet before it gets to the rifling. My theory. That's why my 9mm cylinder in the BH does so well?!

In .40 a 155 gr. can do near 1400 fps in my little 6". The 180 seated long to 10mm 1.25" or more should do well over 1300 fps. That's close to a 4" .41 Magnum. I know cast bullets will add 50-100 fps at the same pressure.

I did not commission my Trail gun for that much power but I'm impressed it is available. I plan on sub-sonic 175 gr. SWC plain base Cowboy bullets.

An alloy frame, alloy ejector housing, and 4-3/4" - 5-1/2" barrel gun should be under 32 oz.
