5 inch ring blesser blonde

[fredhappy]

Hi Guys,

This is my first 5 inch ring shell. I've encapsuled the stars in a thin piece of tissue. I was inspired to do so because of a Chinese ring ballshell autopsy I saw at passfire. I noticed how the Chinese use this technique to

keep the stars nice and snug so inside the hemisphere so the shell can be handled without the stars moving about.

 

data:

 

weight : 510 grams

break : 322 grams MCRH 4/1

boost : 5 gram KCLO4/indian black 000 hotflash

stars : 12 mm blesser blonde streamer stars, made with BBQ charcoal, unfortunately the composition was overmilled.

lift : 50 grams of 10 mesh pulverone, made with hemp charcoal

pasting : 4 layers of 3 strip method, consolidated with weath paste.

comet : 20mm blesser blonde pumped with comet pump.

 

I hope you guys like my shell. I've made a nice batch of winokur 20 and veline red stars ,soon I'll start building some nice 5 inchers using these stars.

 

I'd like to close with a message to my wounded fellow pyro Mumbles: Get well soon , I hope you heal quickly .

I merged the two topics so we could keep the comments and have the video.

 

Post away!

Again. Short duration. Many Ti compositions have more longer duration. Change formula for these big shells.

Yeah Karlos I know. It was a leftover amount of stars from my previous batch of blesser blond. I just overmilled it. But I was was just experimenting

with getting a nice ring form. I also used too much lift, so it also went too high. It stil was a fun shell to shoot, I love the larger calibres .
