Boring tapered hole
#26
There is nothing going on at any forum that I read that is as interesting to me as this Burnside project. What caliber bullet does it require and weight? How many grains of powder?  I am trying to figure out if it could knock down a 50 pound steel ram at 500 yards.. Maybe I could work up 'nuff ambition to try to build one myself.

Edit to say I enlarged the cartridge that you showed and see that it is .54 caliber . Unusual size , barrel sources will be limited. But if bullet is about 450 grains and shoved by at least 65 grains of black powder you can have a reach out and get'm weapon. Could be competitive in black powder cartridge matches and definitely unusual.
