Range Report 9 + lbs projectile

[Jered Joplin]

Having your own range that you can go shoot whenever you want without being bothered is awesome but getting to shoot with of these out of the worlds largest potato gun is PRICELESS!!!

I'm not sure what the BC is but I don't think it matters. It's a hairy moment when one goes over the berm. They tend to be nasty on whatever they come in contact with.

Unfortunately I can't. I have some guys at the range developing some new goodies for a certain customer. The projectile only serves as something to track down range. They have some really small ones as well to include rods. The target is shaped like a small tank and has to be the largest Larue type set up you could possibly imagine. None of it is top secret obviously but I doubt they want their business on the net.

I wish there was something I could shoot with it but chances are it would be illegal.

Still waiting on the cannon to come back to the range. Rain has put a damper on things....

Snag a deer with it yet?

I do believe it meets the minimum caliber requirements

Re: 9 + lbs projectile

No but I found out they hit my 300 yard target accidentally with the 9 pounder and it ripped the steel stand that was buried 2 feet in concrete out of the ground

That's pretty cool. It must be spendy to make a ball of that size without casting it.

Looks like one powerful potato gun.
