CVA cannons
I got a Winchester, what does theirs go for? We can compare the price of theirs used with mine new and get a rough idea wether or not this place has an over inflated profit margin -

cannon blanks
Your absolutely right. I should have also given more details. If the charge were placed in a baggie,then inside a tube made of aluminum foil closed at one end and the flour poured in over top and sealed. Placed down the barrel backwards, the charge was never even pricked. As to how it was... -

cannon blanks
CP, I don't recall where I read this but another issue with plastic bagies is when a misfire occurs, water may not reach the charge to destroy it. I even recall a particullar case where flour was used as the wad and the charge was also wrapped in a baggie, then alluminum and placed backwards... -

Coheorn bed, need opinions
Pressure builds up more in a longer barrel but yours is beefy enough to withstand it. -

Is the carriage near completion too or can it be changed to a mortar sleigh? Check out member resources for Canadian cannon company and check out his sleigh carriage. something longer like that could reduce the chance of it backflipping. -

Shooting the cannon
Go to member resources, muzzleloading links, cannon links, South bend replicas, its their catalogue. Costs like 11$ and its the best piece of literature Ive ever seen for so cheep. -

Shooting the cannon
Your bore is similar to a smoothbore musket. If you keep your charge under 110gr. then yes, patch as you would if you were shooting a musket. Larger bores (2" and up) should have a certain amount of space around the projectile called windage. Even my golf ball bore (1.75") I don't use patches... -

How true. So few people can say they've fired a cannon before, let alone perform in the 1812 Ov. -

What do you mean by bad reputation? I've bought several replicas and a winchester cannon(currently in the mail)from them. Been buying for years and never had a problem. What was your experience with them? I've had to wait for certain things to be manufactured, and they're usually over loaded... -

10-inch Rodman
Your crew may not be as quick as the soldiers who originally fought with this piece day in & day out but that's still very impressive. Good show man! Two vent holes eh? Never heard of that being done unless the cannon was spiked, re-drilled and further use blew out the obstruction. My only... -

10-inch Rodman
Nice, up here the government only lets us take pictures. And even then, if there's any skins on the walls around it, you can't take pictures either. The flash fades the furs! A cannon like that goes for what 30-40,000 dollars, I'd be picky over who gets to move it too. You guys are very lucky... -

Swivel Gun
Before playing with any cannon, find out how it was made. If it isn't poured solid, bore drilled, and sleeved, don't shoot it! Or use a long fuse and get as far away as you can! -

Naval Cannon

Winchester cannon
I just bought one of these and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a wad in the 10g. blanks it fires? I'm talking about winchester ammo. XBP10 ammo. And second, has anyone here ever reloaded fired hulls?
