Holy cow. The breeches! You could front stuff that baby with dynamite and dump in a cup of shot and it wouldn't blow! Speaking of which, anyone remember when Turner Kirkland who founded Dixie Gun Works, took a stout .50cal I seem to remember black powder rifle, dumped in a huge load of black powder then filled the entire barrel right to the muzzle with round balls and touched her off as a test of strength and to maybe bust myths Sherman style. Didn't hurt a thing. They all just went downrange and the barrel was undamaged. Impressive. Would that be fun or what?
