O.k., I'm piecing this together (can't read the story). Sounds like some one was trying to disassemble a 140 year old cannon? Or cannon round? Was this one of those old grape shot rounds, with all the little balls inside, meant to burst over the enemy's heads?
There were no fixed cannon shells 140 years ago, so I'm assuming it's not that. That said, anyone who would attempt to disassemble a shell, cartridge, or whatever that is loaded with black powder had better be careful. Regardless of vintage. It's a whole different game than smokeless, and storage (the original question on this thread) has nothing to do with it.
