[rbjscott]

I made one a while back , bore is .788 X 9" long , I've been useing pyrodex 4 100gr,
First couple test shots 150gr-200gr , behind a big tree

This Chart is for pyrodex 1 there are better choices for cannon powder, I've been shooting wine corks out of it.

I built these a while back. One shoots golf balls and the other is a 50 cal lead ball. Didn't have any plans just what was in my head.

I REALLY like that last one. How did you cut the round back end of that? How big is it?

The barrel is 10 inches long. The ball is 1 1/2 .. Me not being a machinest at all I just bought a steel ball and milled a flat and taped it and the back of the barrel.

I never thought of doing that. One could possibly do it that way and thread something in place, too. Shoot (pun intended), now I have a new project!
