Winchester's Model 1866 during the 1866 Switzerland Trials at 300 Paces, 250 yards.
Although the 1866 was chambered in 44 Henry at an advertised 1,125fps, I used the Winchester 73' 44-40 at 1,350fps with smokeless rifle powder....and a 6x scope. I needed all the advantages I could get to even the playing field against those Swiss sharpshooters!!
