"Twelve bore" cannon pix

I don't know how good these are going to show, the pix were taken in series 30 frames to the second. We were shooting a 2oz slug with about 150 grains ffg.  ~Monk~

Good grief Charlie Brown, that's a lot of fire!

when I saw those pictures I wondered it the cannon wasn't seriously over- loaded!
of course excess windage and a large vent could give that effect too.

Love that beautiful white range (bet it's NOT salt!)

The snow seems to make the flash brighter! With the naked eye it didn't look near this impressive! It was made from a solid shaft and hot blued. I loaded it the same as I would a rifle, and stood well back!

When I said the same as a rifle I was talking about the powder charge. The cannon was bored to fit a 12 gauge plastic wad and my friend made the mold for the slug to fit the wad. We did try patching it later and got MUCH higher velosity.
