My high school horticulture teacher.............grins..........


...........was into Civil war re-enactments, full dress costume and the whole bit.



they owned a LARGE black powder cannon, and during re-enactments would fire at a bed sheet "target" with red spray paint bulls-eye, at 1/4 mile range I think.


the bore of the cannon was something like 2 1/4" inches, and fully rifled with a twist.

When they were just shooting it for fun off of a beach cliff, they'd use a concrete filled Aluminum pop can as a full-metal jacket round, to not bugger up the rifling of the barrel, I forget if they could shoot a mile or two out.


BUT the powder alone got expensive really quick!!! Hence why I like to just accidentally spill a couple 35 mm film canisters during a day.


and you want a 300 pound beast? that's going to be a mother to haul around!!!
What's the bore and barrel length? post a picture!
