[QUOTE="TheDoubleD, post: 3365996, member: 43754"] I had a very wonderful email from my friend, the farmer in Montana where I shot my bowling ball mortar in attempt to go one mile. One of the balls I fired has been found. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.fototime.com_593CBA70C6489C2_large.jpg[/IMG] Checking my notes 5 balls were fired that day, not 4 as reported. Three fired with 16 ozs of Fa Blackpowder, and two with 12 ozs of Fa. The 12 oz loads were the loads we predicted would go the mile. This ball is one of the 12 oz. Fa loads. I looked at the metadata of the picture and got the coordinates of the picture. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.fototime.com_5B608A08144A15E_medium800.jpg[/IMG] I entered the coordinates into Google earth and measured the distances. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/www.fototime.com_82366BFFF7A9ED2_standard.jpg[/IMG] Distance 1.13 miles. Wind drift of this 105,000 gr. projectile was about 400 yards at one mile. I finally got celebrate.
