Brookes usa 50 cal proof load
« on: September 06, 2008, 11:24:01 AM »
I am sorry for the quality of the picture and the video. And I do not recomend doing this. A few years back the Irishman from brooks usa soldm me one of his heavy duty barrels in .50 call I mounted it on a sturdy 1/2 black walnut carraige. Well I figure I had to try it. I used 100 grains of FFG with a .490 ball. I did the test lated at night.  And yes this thing had a serious report. The barrel held up so did the carraige but the Quion shot off and lost it. Like I said I really don't recomend doing this but I can say the Irishman does overbuild his cannon
