Try it and let us know.
I was going for the buckshot, smoothbore effect with bore-sized 3 balls.
Now I am wanting to try a paper-wrapped single ball.
This will take us back to origins of the American Long Rifle in Pennsylvania, which was the inspiration for the British "BP Express Rifle."
Redcoats were in awe of the marksmanship with those squirrel rifles.
How to get a pea-shooter, maybe, 140-grain ball at 2000 fps ?
That .458 WM might be even more versatile than I have heretofore imagined !
BTW, I estimate the 3-ball load had MV of about 1100-1200 fps.
No chrono data and who cares !
