Hi folks,
I am currently building my first cannon. The tube is being made from gas well pipe. Approx. 1/2" wall, 12700 lb. tested. A golf ball fits well with minimal wind age. Planning on shooting blanks only! What would be the correct size for the touch hole and what would be a proper charge of cannon powder. Tube length is 24". The breech will have an exterior sleeve and the trunnions will be on another sleeve welded to the barrel. Thanks in advance.
