These top quality brand new black powder cannons have a bore size of 1.730 in. Which gives it approximately .040 in. Of free clearance (windage) for an average golf ball. A service charge of 300 grains of FFG black powder is enough to get things going real good!

A salute can be fired off with a charge of 500 grains topped with a DRY wad of crumpled newspaper or a hand full of grass or leaves. (Do not use wet paper or tightly packed anything as it will cause a bore obstruction and is dangerous).

LEGAL ISSUES on Antique and Black powder cannons.

 Firearms in this country (USA), particularly those deemed to be “destructive devices”, are tightly regulated by BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms). The question then becomes: is a cannon a destructive device? According to Federal Regulations, a cannon that is “not capable of firing fixed ammunition and manufactured on or before 1898, and replicas thereof, are antiques and not subject to the provisions of either the Gun Control Act of 1968 or the National Firearms Act of 1934”. Fixed ammunition refers to a projectile and powder charge than can be loaded as a single unit. By this definition, even a percussion primed breech loader is exempt if the powder and shot are loaded separately.
