    Proof report, while I was away from K street and down in the bush I gave the .50 a proof test with 90gr 2f swiss and .490 p ball. At the same time I thought I would test a gizmo I had made that replaces the nipple in the muzzle loader. This is called a "magsparke , it screws in place of the nipple and takes a 209 rifle primer, the top screws off and primer is placed in then top screwed on, the top bit has a firing pin build in and this is what the hammer hits. So with gun loaded up and tired to a tree, lined up on another tree, me hiding behind larger tree, I pulled the string attached to trigger. The party went with a bang! all right and all was good, except the poor target tree,, , fire wood.
