Re: Cuttled Barrel Ballasting

Musubi, use wot you got if it's a build for yourself, but what would I do?

First I'd use some temporary rubber stoppers and stick on wheel weights to figure out what weight you really need to add and where.

From there, I'd either make a weight compartment outside the barrel, or put the weight inside the barrel, maybe by attaching to the plug.

OR. I'd use a High Density Pourable foam. Those come in different weights. So there's for example 2#, 4#, 6#, 16# etc.. based on what a square foot of the material weighs. In this case if you could get it close then you should still have some adjustability within the Handle and Muzzle.

Personally Id like to see you use a weighted Pourable High Density/Compression resistant foam for purely selfish reasons in that I'd be interested to learn more about that.
