Hello, I just got done earlier with my bi-monthly falling plates competion. After everyone got done shooting, I got out my new 6 1/2" 50-70 govt. barreled contender. The loads I had were 500 grainers @ 800fps., not hot, but interesting out of this iron sighted pistol with the small, early wood grips. This was a big hit with all of the guys at the shoot, and really seems to slap down the larger "popper" targets! I hope to use this barrel on Russian boar this fall. Keep you posted. Thanks.
