Making Custom - BIG but cheap - Crossbows . . .

Greetings, all!

What are the reasonable scaling guidelines for making bigger crossbows - solely for the purpose of increasing MinST, and thus also increasing the Maximum ST that can be set on the bow. Does doubling weight and cost fit for doubling MinST and decreasin Bulk by 2?

And how do I figure how much heavier can I make my ammunition without sacrificing too much range?

I'm trying to build a custom mini-ballista for one of the PCs in the Celestial Ocean.

Thanks in advance!
