His experimenting with heavy for the time bullets and finely ground black powder lead to his further experimentations in the 44 Spl after blowing up his gun!

Cogitating on things like this gets me to contemplating what folks like Samuel Baker did back in the day. Some of the loads he quotes for shoulder fired weapons make me wonder what would be possible with a more modern setup for loading/lubing/etc.
