I have an aquaintance who has an old cannon. He wants to fire it with just black powder (no projectile) for the smoke and boom. Anyone have an idea of how much B.P. to start it off with? I was thinking of 150gr initially.
It was just freshly painted. This guy likes to paint everything.
The bore looks to be 1.5" in diameter. I didn't have my remote camera with me to scope the bore out, but I was told it was fired long, long ago. This cannon is a serious chunk of miniature artillery.
