[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 112752, member: 3"] Ian I already have a good supply of bowling balls so ammo is no problem for this shooter and that tip about plugging the finger holes is super!! I believe I'll try a pre-mix of oxygen and acetylene from a torch vice the black powder (that's dangerous stuff). I'd need bigger wheels and maybe skids plates for the cart but I believe I have that fixed... I can just strap the setup directly onto a haywagon (there's always one of those around those alfalfa fields). You really got me to thinking now though... about bowling pins!!! I can mill two or three grooves into the larger diameter area of the bottom part and slip a lubricated o-ring in each groove - a driving band - higher velocity (still sub-orbital though). I'd then only need to screw a few fins into the skinny little top part and have a fine high(er) BC projectile. I could use a smaller bore barrel and maybe even make it luggable... and carry more reloads. I could also carry a set of hollow point pins and some polycarbonate tipped one for varmints. Do you think I could get 1,000 ft/lbs out of those setups so it'd be effective for deer?? Maybe someone could run some of the numbers, I wanna make sure I don't end up tracking anything. [/QUOTE]
