    Many thanks again Musketeer, metric would have saved a lot of time, You can't change aviation into metric, that's the real problem.

    I see the carronades disappeared around 1850, after rifled barrels were introduced. Well, another 39 of these and my wife would disappear. Thanks Wes, Paul.

    The fit is good, the conversion from inches to mm has been the worst as I get fractions that become a little guess work.

    Zonie and Dave. Thanks for the effort again. Zonie, I don't get the t=D/2 ?? Here are the the exact measurements of my cannon, if you have the time, I would appreciate it if you could give me the ratio factor to the actual limits of my PB1 barrel with a starting load. OD of breech 1,77 inch...

    So, you admit that Davec2 is correct? Your post is off topic, as we were discussing the use of PB1 bronze in my cannon. My .44 cal lead balls are made by Frontier metal processing, I have 200, they all weigh 127gr My wife and I have never had children. All firearms should be kept out of the...

    Thanks very much Fred, I bought the plans from Outpost Enterprises in Ohio. www.outpostenterprises.com. I think I paid $17. They are plans from Jerry E. Howell, they include the carriage. I would gladly send you mine, but it would be a copy right infringement. All the best too Fred.
