The Improved Electric Breechloading Rifle - Video

Dr. Stephen Wardlaw, the author of the world famous CT Muzzleloaders Experiments page, built another improved electric breechloading .22 rifle based on the Ruger 10/22.
The improvements allow it to fire buckshot with smokeless powder up to a velocity of 1420 FPS.
He made 2 videos about it, one showing how well it shoots and the other explaining how it works.
The funniest part of the video was when he says that it only cost him about $85,000 to develop. LOL!
He also mentions in his video that loading with black powder, he can only take about 20 shots before the accuracy degrades.

Video showing how well the rifle shoots and how easy it is to load: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=weC7...be&app=desktop

The updated experiments page about the rifle which he named "The Plink King" (with 2 videos at the bottom): http://www.ctmuzzleloaders.com/ctml_...link_king.html

The entire experiments page filled with experiments: http://www.ctmuzzleloaders.com/ctml_experiments.html

The page about the original electrically-fired black powder breechloading rifle (which he also fires in the video): http://www.ctmuzzleloaders.com/ctml_...lectricml.html
