These geese were killed with my 1878 Westley Richards with 1 1/2 0z of #2 Bismuth and 85 grains of FFG in a Mag Tech brass case.
They went down just as hard as if they were shot with modern steel ammo moving 350 FPS faster!
I have since changed my loads a bit but have not found much difference in killing power.
All of my BP guns are cylinder bore BTW , except for my modern Pedersoli hammer 12, which I sometimes use , but it is still choked CYL/IC.
