WOW Double D
i was thinking i was a pest. Seacoast is way cool ,and they did write me back. But i really know nothing about Naval stuff,only what i have in a book,so i feel stupid posting on that.
Field is a different thing, I really want one of Doms guns ,just to have a WW1 gun around.
I have pulled my guns over 20 miles before.with a friends horses, I think he likes to show off his horses,me the gun
Most of what i have is are short movies ,taken on a floppy, Sony Maviica. What is that MPG ? Allen said he would host them for me ,but i feel like a bum to him sometimes.
Ive done the big smoke for a long time,I started with a Hern, and a carriage made in NY. It went from there.
Most of what i know i learned in the field from old timers. I never stress my guns, just because she fired 4 oz of cannon BP just fine,doesn't mean i am going to be stupid.
Guys,the stress on the tube ,is nothing to the stress on the Carriage. Transportation of these guns if not tied down right ,will do more damage than firing them,remember you have a tube that weighs 550 pounds,jumping up and down on a trailer in directions it wasn't made to go,to deal with stress.
Also ,firing Cannon powder is great,Then you will try FF and find your gun rocks,yes she does,but if we were talking about a revolver, you just took your 38 spl.to a 357 mag.in a gun not designed to do this.
THINK!!! DD i only say this because i see kids doing this all the time. USE cannon powder,its called that for a reason ,and to do other you may be dead,or you just lost your 10k cannon,i have seen it.
To load up FF in the same charge you do in Cannon BP is just plain stupid.
Rule of thumb ,one ounce per inch of bore. Protect your investment and your Life ,these tubes were made for Cannon powder only.
