    probably is pretty dodgy looks fun though..... but safety concerns would stop me from trying it as well

    how it works a ramset gun uses 22lr blanks to fire nails into concrete but you can fit them in a 22 basically if you muzzle load anything on top of a blank it becomes a projectile that's how the old net guns for capturing deer work its a 303 blank which turns the net into the projectile some guys who shoot the old 577 sniders use a case full if powder covered with a cardboard wad then ram a 58 cal ball down ontop its a nice way of shooting them low recoil

    You can get Ramset powder chargers , that are magnum size ( black ) if you had "steel balls"they would hum ! Don't think I'd be game .
    Pls don't try them as the crimp may not have enough room to open , 22 mag might

    Fark That!

    I have more respect for my Speedmaster than to try that shit.

    Check out the back ground .... would you fire in this direction?

    Cheers

    Hmmm dad had us doing that as kids for target shooting, he claimed it was because the pellets were to light to go far but I think it's because he cot the ramset shells for free.

    Don't use the longer ones!!!!! They get stuck in there
