Those are "Mood balls" dontcha know.

I was shooting last weekend and the fella next to me had a BB mortar. WOW!, those things just keep going and going. I was totally amazed that such a small amount of powder could loft a ball that far.

When shooting my electrical conduit, concrete filled projectiles, I had formerly painted them a bright, blaze orange and thought that this color would make them real easy to retrieve.  Wrong, for my particular location, the ones I painted white were a "piece of cake" to find.  From now on, it's going to be only the white color for the projectiles that I WANT to retrieve.
And here is another bowling ball mortar from the Casper Shoot:
