I managed to test fire the beast today...........we found some water in the Marais and just got 2 shots in before some jobsworth came up and complained we were shooting lead into the water and he, as a wildfowler had to use steel shot :roll: I don't think so.............
Anyway, the upshot was - sorry! - a 55 grain load of FFG behind a .69" 482 grain ball shoots it about 70 meters :D :D Video to follow when I can work out how to edit it :oops: :oops:

Very cool, Duncan. Looks like fun. Now all you need to do is anchor the model ship you built, out
there in the water and you have a target............ :mrgreen:
