This video provides a range review of Kaido 240-grain, .44 caliber bullets. The reviewer, Dustin Winegar, found that these bullets did not universally fit popular .44 caliber revolvers like the Remington New Model Army and 1847 Walker Colt without modification. The 1860 Army Colt, with some prior modification, provided a good fit. Shooting was limited to the 1860 Army Colt with a 30-grain charge of Triple FG Goex black powder, yielding an average velocity of 691 fps at 45 feet.
