Hello!

Well finally pulled the trigger and send the deposits out for carriage and barrel on my full scale 6 pound light field gun, an English light 6 pounder barrel on a Congreve carriage.

Now I have to be patient, for the next 12 months!

In the mean time looking to get some stuff to go with it, namely some display rounds, I would like an example of each type of round an 6 pound cannon could have fired during the Revolutionary War, to be used at display events etc. I was wondering who might be out there that would make period correct rounds for this purpose. Thanks!

The copper implement is a gun powder scoop for loading loose powder down the bore. Pictures of them can be seen in "Round Shot and Rammers".
