     I think what you want is this chart in Ulrick Bretscher's Black Powder Page that KABAR2 posted back on page 3 now.

Here is the chart; if you want more detail go to his webpage posted by KABAR2.

Regards,

Tracy and Mike


Using his eprovette mortar or whatever the Swiss call it, Ulrich got these relative results.  Goex is listed.

Smokin' my pipe on the mountings, sniffin' the mornin'-cool,
I walks in my old brown gaiters along o' my old brown mule,
With seventy gunners be'ind me, an' never a beggar forgets
It's only the pick of the Army that handles the dear little pets - 'Tss! 'Tss!

From the poem  Screw-Guns  by Rudyard Kipling
