I'm working in dolostone and its not very forgiving. I have a bulldog extreme max 1" hammer drill and Ive been drilling 3/4" holes and using 5 sets of 3/4" Pin n Feathers. I'd like to increase the amount of rock that I can break off at once. Last chunk was only about the size of a basketball. When it comes to shim n wedges, how much does size matter? I'd like to be able to pop 2' x 2' x 3' or 4' blocks off at a time. I know thats not gonna happen with only 5 sets. Realistically what would I need to get to break off that much at a time? I've also read about capping the rock in a forum and that its faster and easier. I can't find anything else on capping. What tools does it require and a video would be awesome. Any help would be awesome. Thanx guys. Jason
