[RC] cowboy mounted shooting blanks - Ed Kilpatrick

the cases are crimped at the end, eliminating the need for any type of wadding.   i pried the crimp open just now, and there is nothing in there but large granules of black powder.
 
i think after some experimentation with the loads, it was determined that the crushed corn cob or walnut shell was no longer needed.
 
these blanks will burst a balloon at a distance of about 20 feet.
