Benjamin Ben Bulldog .357 can shoot bolts

[bulldog357arrow]

Bulldog. 357 CAN SHOOT 20" BOLTS.
I was going through my shot count approx. 15 shots to 2000psi. To get the most at once from one fill I wanted effective takedown to roughly 500 psi. Pushing a 120 grain worked at close range 15 to 20yards from 2k down. I got a crazy wild hair up the but and pulled out a crossbow 20" bolt removed the 3 plastic "fetching and the knock". Then muzzle loaded. WOW" with deer point now it's good at 3k psi to 500psi (15 120grain and 15 20" BOLTS w/whatever point.
SO YES THE LONG QUESTION BOLTS WILL SHOOT EFFECTIVELY IN BULLDOG .357 WITH MINOW MOD (BASICALLY MAKING IT A 20" DART)

@bulldog357arrow Interesting approach. Welcome to the club. Got any photos?

Is it heavy because it looks super bulky?

I underestimated the power seriously.

I underestimated the power seriously.

I also tried one by gluing an orange ear plug into rear leaving 1/2 exposed. That was my best result.

@TheBeardedGunsmith Not really. But I'm 6' 240lbs

@bulldog357arrow Do you have any target photographs with bolts stuck in the target? Have you chronographed the velocity of these bolts shot from your Bulldog?

How was the accuracy?

@jsptech bulldog is tits. Added a mod power spring with diy mod. Needed to run ext. Res. Hits at 100 yards 120 grain custom slugs. Bolts (big ass darts) at 2k down to 500 hit at 50yards within reason and takedown NP.

How accurate was it?

Tits with the higher grain tip. Working on a knock that fits and expands 3 .. I think I can get another 20-30 yards .. I'll post when finished

I just can't get past it's looks. It's like a cinderblock with a grip on it.
