you guys were right, the smoke, the smell, its fantastic!!!!! First shot 200 grains, soso, next shot 250 grains with some wadding, better!!! Cant wait to try 300 grains{My cannon is rated for 438 grains max,blank load} The wife got mad at me when I brought the cannon in for cleaning, the smell followed us into the house!!!! I said welcome to the wonderful world of cannons!!!!! :twisted:

Ahhhhhhh the smell of sulpher on your hands in the morning!   :)

(often still there after 3 or 4 washings!)

When I take someone out to shoot for the first time, I show them how and have them swab the bore between rounds - to lengthen the time of their expereince.


Almost as good as sex for the first time.  (Some things just can't be topped.)
