Details jim, details.
What is the ID and the OD on them?
About how long are they?
And the 4 bore rifle wants to know if you can do a 400 grain measure?

John

They're about 5" long, OD is 5/8" ID is 27/64th's drill bit, measured depth to a brass measure I have here, Maple is from a 4 foot diameter stump from a broad leaf Maple I dropped on the in-laws property 20 years ago, aqua fortis stain and some satin poly on top

400 grains? aren't pipe bombs illegal?
