Hi there!

Well I think shooting with ghost rock dust would get a bit expensive,
wouldnīt it? I think the Banshee-Scout rifle was designed especially for
this Planet, because there is ghost rock lying around everywhere. On earth
you would only make any Junkers in the posse angry, when you use the
precious stuff as gunpowder.
But there is another rules-question I have about reloading shells. Is it
possible to reload magnum rounds? Well as I stated in the listserv, I donīt
know much about guns, but I think magnum rounds have a special powder that
gives them the tremendous speed. Am I right?
