Longest: 4 out of six shots into a pie plate at 150 yards with a <repro> 1858 Remington Buffalo cap & ball revolver (14" barrel), using .451 swaged roundballs over pre-lubed felt "wonder wads" and 40 grains FFFG Goex black powder.

Best: Hit a life-sized crow silhouette in the head at 90 yards with the same pistol and same load. (Probably pure luck, but I have won several shoots with this pistol.)

Proudest: Head shot (again probably pure luck - I was aiming center of mass and must have flinched just right) on a squirrel in the top of an oak tree in our back yard (same pistol, same load).
