First time at the range with the 72 cal under hammer. First shot in the 9 ring then they went up. Total size 3.5" centers with 6 shots. This is a new cut rifled barrel with forsyth rifling. Maybe it will do better when it's broke in.

Neat looking pistol but 72 caliber? Plan on doing a lot of target shooting with it?

wow, a couple of those laying along side you on the car seat would be good companions when you travel. that would put a quick end to any one trying to hijack your car or rob you. the smoke and fire comeing out of that thing alone would scare the badness out of them.

Forsyth rifling, so I guess you need 150 grains of 2FF?

It has a little faster twist than the rifle barrels, I was going for narrow lands and wide grooves. Twist is 1 in 36". With 30 grains of 2F and a 1&1/4 ounce ball recoil is not bad but it did skin my elbow up on the shooting bench.
