Just thought I'd pose this question to people with a greater understanding of BP than me.
I recently saw online a .223 rem derringer
and I was thinking if a BP derringer could be made along the same lines/idea.
Small bullet with a large shouldered powder cavity and 209 primers.
Just not sure how well BP works in a "shouldered environment"?
I mean, would you get the same kind of effect as you do with smokeless or would you be better of with a straight walled design in a .45 or .50 cal?
A set of custom barrels on a American derringer or bond arms frame would work.
Any thoughts are welcome.
(Acutally, thinking about it, I probably should have just PM'd Manyirons)
