Picked one up at local gun show today for $55. Bore a little rusty but seems to be surface rust and is cleaning up. Rifling is good. Powder load? I am thinking around 20 grains of FFG to start? Do I need to tie it down somehow or what? Shoot a lot of blackpowder but never played with a cannon. Recoil is a fact of life. Thing looks well built and I don't think 50 or 60 grains of powder would hurt it but there is the issue of recoil. Just let it set there on its wheels and god knows where it will end up.
