Nor do I. I would opine that the ballistic trajectory would be unpredictable.

I do need to add another item to my assumption list

5. that you have a barrel long enough.

In order to garner the full effect of all that powder on such a small diameter projectile, the barrel would have to be long. And by long I would say 6-8 feet, perhaps? (would have to work on the maths on this)

For comparison, The Barrett M82A1 .50 rifle has a barrel length of about 3 feet.
