Interesting Toradar Barrel

Hi Richard

I think your chamber without restriction could be a boon or a boom.generally the feeling now is pack everything tight air spaces raise pressures. Someone here recently stated that with the old powders the extra air for burning gave these bores their advantage. I wonder if something like kapok might allow for needed reduction and allow modern Peridox to be used would the filler burn off or just melt into goo. There is a U Tube where they explained that dried dung and or dirt was dumped into chamber before the ball was seated.

I wonder how the Japanese and Portuguese loaded theirs. I'd love to shoot one. Steve
