I'm in the process of Re-Moulding my piston for MR Wilson and reducing the pilot volume and a total Clean up and when this is done I'm going to do some blasting!

I got a few things in mind.Any one want to request or got some good Idea's for thing to shoot at?

To Do List
Watermelons
Ballistics Gel
Doors
Sheets Of Wood
Tins Full Of Water
Garden Gnomes
Tins Full Of Flour

I will also be doing some more chronographing to clear up the velocities my chrono gave which were not believable.

Deal!A golfball at a couple hundred fps hitting a large tin full of water does sound good to me.

I don't know about a car door,but I do know I can use a whole car body just as long as my friend has sold it to scrap metal yet.

I might make a steel penetrating round aswell apart from golfballs.

A thought on that -- Open properties, choose different opening program, and it may convert by doing that after it opens with new program???

I'll give that a go,if not I got a program I can download to convert it but I'm not so sure on how well it will work.Hoping for the best.



Ohh I also just happen to get my hands a 27 liter mould for some ballistics gel so there will be big amounts of gel being shot at.
