Last year he brought over an 8" mortar that he needed to dispose of. You would have liked it! My neighbor that was in his garage roughly 600 feet away said the the lifting charge rattled all the stuff on the garage walls. The width of it when it burst was over 300'. I think he said that it was about 1,000 feet in the air when it burst. Electronic fuse, no more light and run. We were roughly 100 yds from it before he pressed the button. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

The Star burst on the pond sounds like an old fashioned way of sampling your fish population -- but I am afraid fatal !!! The concussion would sure stun the heck out of most and probably everyone around. Congrats on the post count - and I agree with you TJ on the forum. Last edited by ewest; 05/01/14 08:59 AM.

The 5 gallons alone would kill most fish in your pond then the mortar would simultaneously bbq the fish.. PS- I cannot believe tanerite is still legally available over the counter of most outdoor type stores.. someone has to screw this up for everyone here soon..

I'm using a 180g Berger VLD that has a MV (at 780' elevation)of 3350 fps and it's holding together. The 175g Sierra MatchKing at 3490 fps wouldn't after the barrel had slightly over 200 rounds through it. Eric, that would be my concern too, besides the grass fire. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

For instance a .308 shooting a 168g bullet needs 1.7 seconds to go 1,000 yds, my 7mm shooting a 175g bullet travels the same distance in 1.07 seconds. A 45-70? You're looking close to a 3 second time of flight. www.hoosierpondpros.com http://www.pondboss.com/subscribe.asp?c=4 3/4 to 1 1/4 ac pond LMB, SMB, PS, BG, RES, CC, YP, Bardello BG, (RBT & Blue Tilapia - seasonal).

I like my explosions sort of controlled, with just one escape route for the gasses. TH, I figured why you couldn't hit anything with my big gun last year. The bullet couldn't take 290,000+ RPM and it was coming apart in a little grey copper and lead cloud about 50 yds from the muzzle. Yeah, that's why I missed every target!

Besides, that's the proper gun safety protocol - drink first, fire later, ask no questions, give no quarter, right? When that tannerite went off my neighbors told me their windows rattled and wondered if I'd finally met my demise. Funny - didn't seem that loud up close - might have been the beermuffs?
