This one is for Cannonmn. John we think you are probably more than qualified to answer this querry. If Scott was to take this one step further and load his new, full scale model 1861 13" Seacoast Snow Mortar with a full service charge of 20 Lbs. of BP and also a 220 lb. shell, can you tell us how far the shell is likely to go upon firing at 45 degrees elevation with the gun and all materials in it at a temperature of 25 degrees F.? Could you please tell us about the logic behind your answer? Water volume of a durable, long lasting snow sculpture is 70 to 80 % water, let's say 75% for this exercise.
Thank you,
Tracy and Mike
