    Think I'm gonna machine up some Tsx's to match the way that design looks, and try them , think I might ask Gimp to be the test dummy cause he is quite adamant they don't work, me I'm open minded, might machine up some shotgun slugs too, plenty of mass then! (bet he says no!)

    But mine will work, 120 TSX, only the front 40% machined to match the given principal and starting velocity of 3500, will give you the 12 inches and a bucketfull of change!

    I basically made a version of this for myself about a year ago http://www.nzhuntingandshooting.co.n...he-rifle-7494/ and it was 50/50 success wise.

    got me wondering how it doesn't disintegrate the moment it leaves the muzzle. Should change the slogan to "the only round you'll never need"
