Chain and a good ground anchor might be the go?

Yea its got rings on the trolly for rope to go threw sort of like a ships canon, Its not me making it.

currently the bore is such a good fit/finish that the ball takes around 3seconds to get down the bore under its own weight with it compressing the air under it.

I suggested its probably too tight as it will carbon and that usually these things are patched.

Yep ram it tight, but don't crush it into a solid block, no air gaps

Normally you use soft lead that bumps up an seals between the barrel and projectile, I would loosely fit it with a greased patch, you want the fucker to go, if it doesn't your pressure will build!

We are getting closer.





I am thinking wall it in on 2 sides with 12mm plate and use 2x best guess at charge to proof it.

Start with 30 grains and work up, un burnt powder will be blown out the barrel, wait till it's snowing and fire it over white snow, if you overload the black un burnt powder will show on the snow. You can tune it like that. Built like the stubble behind it!

Fuck all snow round here I am in the tropics don't ya know!
