Ammo for 1" Bore Cannon
« on: April 17, 2010, 11:55:45 AM »
I have ordered a 1" bore cannon.  I have surfed the net and have been unable to locate ball ammo for this bore.  What do the rest of you use?

I sent a pm with the source these guys are using.  I noticed they offer 1" aluminum balls, and I'm curious how these would be out of a cannon, since they would eliminate the risk of sparking between the steel balls/steel bore (though they are much more expensive).

You have ordered a 1 inch bore cannon, but what size ball does it use?   If your bore is one inch diameter it needs smaller ball.  If it is intended 1 inch balls, then bore should be bigger than one inch.

But you need to before you buy balls.
