Has anyone ever cast a full sized cannon? Can it be done by sand casting etc.? What kind of metal could be used? I'm mostly interested in the Civil War era.
 
I saw a TV show on a national competition on period cannon shooting. If you looked closely you could follow the ball to the target. It is a fairly expensive hobby so you would need a crew to share the costs.
