...and I must say, it came out rather well! I've got to pull the barrel one last time for a final powder coat, but
other than that...IT LIVES!
This shot was only 3/8 oz. of powder, that's as loud as I dare go in the back yard. I have taken it
out to the country, and gotten it up to 1 oz. It shakes yer bones at that load, and I'm working it up to
a maximum load of ~2 oz. I can't even imagine how loud that's gonna be. So far no signs of distress on
the barrel, but after I reach the 2 oz blank load....then come the projectiles, and MUCH higher barrel
pressures (and smaller loads...smaller by half)! But she's belching fire and smoke like any good little
self-respecting cannon should!
I'll get another vid up when I reach max load, then others as projectile tests commence.
Enjoy!
