I DO recall that from maybe "Sixguns". Thanks.

Thinking I may try some 168 gr Keith slugs in a .38 case at 950 fps.

I've got a 6" N frame for the revolver, assuming his .38/.44 was probably 6 or 6 1/2 inces??

I found a sheet of 20x22 inch sheet steel. I'll get it cut to 18" square, paint it white and see what I can do.

We shoot routinely at 100, 150 and 200 yds on steel plates here but due to the Mtn in my back yard the angles turn steep quickly past 250 yds. Need to run out to another property I have access to for this experiment. I can easily do 400 yds on the FLAT there.
