How about you?

Looking forward to the cannon video and thinking about trying out some left handed shooting.

How can you afford to drive that with Bidens gas prices? You must be loaded. /s

Did you use a projectile or is it just powder? In the early 90s I helped build a civil war replica field gun I forget the size but we made projectiles from beer cans filled half full of concrete . We could hit a 4x8 sheet of plywood at 150 to 200 yards every shot.
I’m just glad I wasn’t paying for it.

That is awesome.

I did two shots, both were about 2300gr of powder wrapped in aluminum foil with an old had cloth as a wad then packed nice and tight. The range I’m a member at said no problem doing dry shots, but no projectile at this time. The bore is 57mm and I picked up a box of ball pit balls that are 54mm. I plan to fill them with cement.

Is that close to a pound? BP is expensive and hard to find now. or it was a couple months ago. hadn’t checked lately.

One pound of powder is 7000gr, so about 1/3 of a pound. I found this stuff online for $18 a pound. I ordered 10 pounds and paid $57 in shipping.

I paid 24 bucks a pound couple years ago and stocked up. that was before the panic too. that shipping is a killer on powder.
