NU-BE LOOKING FOR HELP AND MY FIRST THUNDER MUG. Heres the one I just ordered from Rich over at rscannons. Its a little to big for you to probably make from 2.5" The mug i ordered is 5" at the base and the barrel is 4" diameter and 8.5" tall. Heres the picture though. Im looking for more information on what type of black powder to use in this and wadding. The guy I talked to from the website said he just uses bread balls. Watching youtube videos I see people using a hammer and a stick to pack the powder and wadding. The maker of my mug advised against such practices and told me to just lightly tamp the charge and wadding. Who do I believe? The mugs going to be built in a few weeks for me and in that time im here online trying to learn more and found this forum. Any help with how to get the maximum boom guys would be appreciated. Thank you.
