Need a noise load
« on: July 03, 2006, 06:47:37 AM »
for my golf ball mortar for tommorow.
I have the base finished enough for shooting blank loads. What I need is a recommended load for the most noise I can get out of it.
It has a 1x1 powder chamber. I have 3f  (11 lbs) and cannon grade (3lbs) Goez powder in stock.
Also which way is better for loading the powder, loose or in aluminum foil?

You're going to have to do a lot of hoping to get that much noise.  Depending on the construction of your mortar, a shot heavier than a golf ball would provide more sound.  But we don't want to make a grenade out of your mortar barrel, either.
