RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

     Owen,    That's a fine looking mortar!  Could you tell us what type and how much powder you shoot with in Canberra?

Beautiful photos, thanks for sharing.

Thanks guys :)

Is cannon grade ... well thats what is said on the can the grains are bigger than 1fg and about 40 grains. Was thinking of trying 1f or 2f for a little more range.

And thanks for the Kewpie as well....
