    .22 shorts used as caps revisited.

    I keep reading about making your own caps. Question is where do you get the equipment and the chemicals to make them, as i am low on caps and want to try and make mine own, as they are hard to find right now.

    Help needed

    If i had a choice I would go with the 1/2 scale 6 pounder, 2oz of 2f powder will give you a good bang. I can run up to 4oz in my 1.25 bore, when blank firing and a max of 2oz when live firing. Been playing with cannons now for 6 years, and own 4 plus a mortar. Can never have to many?
