Ok I have a DOM Swivel gun (Golfball, .22 Blank Ignition) It is AWESOME by the way!
Dom's site suggests:
Replica 18th Century Swivel Cannon
Barrel Length : 26.5"
Bore size : 1.75" [golf ball]
Maximum Grains:
Ball charge : 400 Gr. Cannon Grade
Salute Charge : 750 Gr. Cannon Grade
Questions: 1) Would I use the ball charge also for a 1lb lead ball? (Im assuming the charge listed above reference the ball charge is for a golfball)
2) What is a suggested charge for lets say a 1lb canister load?
3) What is everyone's opinion on the best way to create a complete "Cartridge" for the Solid shot round & a Canister round? (Basically attaching the Ball/Canister to the powder charge) Im looking for simple loading.
-I have toyed with the following ideas:
-TP Roll (to hold canister balls/& medium)
-Nitrated Cotton socks (& then attach Solid shot or TP canister roll)
-Coffee filters
4) & Finally is it safe to fire the gun while holding the "Tail" of the swivel gun? (Obviously only if properly secured)
(I plan on making a trailer hitch mounted platform for it to fire from the back of my SUV)
Thanks in advance guys!!!
