I've never heard of anyone patching balls for smallbore cannons, but a couple friends have mentioned they're planning to use undersized balls and patch them for a snug fit in their newly made cannons' bore (1"). We're all new to cannon use, but do shoot traditional muzzleloading rifles where patched roundballs are the norm. Is this practice considered unsafe in cannons? :idunno:
