Subdjoe,
I'm glad you posted this vid, it looks like you all had a great outing.
Yeah, it was a nice relaxing day. Learned that my improvised munitions still leave something to be desired. I tried cans filled with FixAll, thinking that it is pretty tough and uniform. But it was too light. And had a tendency to just disintigrate. I had filled the cans, which fit the bore about 1/32 under size, to just below the rim thinking that it would open up into the rifeling. It may have, but the cans tore apart.
I had also tried lead poured into the cans, again, thinking that it would expand into the rifeling. But those I only filled about half way. Same deal. And one the lead shot out, but the wall of the can stayed in the tube, which we didn't find out about until a bit later. Finally managed to pull that out with a sponge. Someone found the lead from that, it had expanded into the rifeling, but since it was so short, once it left the tube it just tumbled. But it was interesting to see.
I did meet up with a guy who wants to get into it and he has a lathe and an operator for it. One of our people had a bolt he bought from Paulson, so the guy took measurements, photos and drawings. So I may have a source of very inexpensive munitions.
