I admit that I was just experimenting. the reason that I was using silk was that I knew that the 96 pound powder bags for 16 inch naval rifles were made of silk. BTW if anyone wants it, I have a photo on my hard drive in JPG format of USS North Carolina firing a 3 round shot from one of the front turret and the 3 projecitles are visible in the picture AWESOME! If anyone wants it just e-mail me and I will be more than happy to send it to you.
