Well, I had a blast Saturday. Got to do some "plinking" with the 1 1/2" bore.  I was invited to a Machine gun shoot, (even though I do not have any myself). They were kind enough to let me bring my "Artillery" to shoot with them.  I guess they needed some heavy support.They started it with a real BLAST.  My shooting postion  This is a three consecutive shot group at 200 yds (from a smooth bore).  Exit wound  Here is another one, Missed centering the windshield. Note entry at the top center and exit over drivers door.  Hit at 300 yds.  Exit on 300 yd hit.  Hit the truck again with the next shot in the center of the door. A storm blew in shortly after that and I was not able to get a picture. Hope to get one later on. Got to make up some more powder bags and projectiles.

Keith, Grat report! It looks like you did a fine job of representing the "band of Bubbas"! Rusty We Band of Brothers! DRSS, NRA & SCI Life Member "I am rejoiced at my fate. Do not be uneasy about me, for I am with my friends." ----- David Crockett in his last letter (to his children), January 9th, 1836 "I will never forsake Texas and her cause. I am her son." ----- Jose Antonio Navarro, from Mexican Prison in 1841 "for I have sworn upon the altar of god eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."

Thanks for sharing Keith. It looks like you have that jewell well zeroed. What powder adjustments are you having to make when extending your distance? Frank | |||

Thanks guys. Frank, I use the same 2 1/2oz powder charge for all of my shooting. To adjust aiming for different ranges, I use the acme threaded screw under the breech of the gun. The projectile weighs 1lb 12oz, or 12,250gr. This load will cause the 256 lb. gun to recoil 4-5 feet. Recoil calculater gave me this info. 12,250gr projectile 1094 gr powder charge 1400 fps (just a guess) 256 lb gun wt. 486 ft lbs of recoil @ 11 fps Hog Killer ps: I also have a canister load of 72 .50" RB, Then there are the tracer rounds made with modified M-17 BMG projectiles. To bad HE is a no no.  IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | |||

Next time there is a Bubba shoot, let's fire it across Harry's chrono to see what velocity you are getting.  Mike | |||
