I did some recent shooting with this Win 94 in 38/55.......OMG, can this little levergun SHOOT. Open irons at 50 yards, using the Lee 250 grain plain base "boat tail" atop a 100%-density charge of Trail Boss.......SEVERAL 5-shotters with 4 or 5 rounds touching. I doubt that velocity exceeds 1000 FPS, but to paraphrase Buckshot--"They won't bounce back from the target paper!" After the first shot, the following 4 shots tried really hard to run through the same hole.
