Quick math, 12.5gr = 560 round per pound, though realistically 550 or a few less

Im sure thats a lot of fun to shoot. Single shots are a riot quite often.
Almost put together a 219 Zipper years ago. It became a .357 mag instead due to brass availability.

A zipper in a 1885 is probably the last grail gun for me. It might turn into a 25-35 and shoot light bullets.
