Very cool. Thanks OP. Serious question...can you see that slug going down range at that speed? Similar to shooting an M203?

I can sometimes catch a glimpse of sub sonic's going down range when the light is just right...

No I did not but I have seen some slow .38 wadcutters going down range when the sun was at my back.

Yes. I now realize that you only had one round to test. My bad.

Since England had colonial troops all over the globe in some hostile areas, I bet that old, slow, kinda silly looking caliber got the job done.
