Thor, that may turn out to be a very handy barrel size to have ;-)

The 7 1/2 inches of pine penetration does not supris be at all. The box at the range I used ahd a 1" space between the 1/2 inch boards and there was always some drift in the bullet path but most would clear all twelve. The lead .357s tended to drift of to the side of the box before the 8th board. It was great fun to see their faces. I had a S&W 44 mag then also. It just cleared the last 6 of the boards out of there with a lead bullet load. . . but then you had to get the lead out of the bore.
