Big E, as fas as big bangs go, 350grams of BP makes one HUGE explosion. :surrender: :surrender: Take note that this is shot out of a proper full size 6 pounder carronade.
One thing i learned from these guys, when you are going to put fire to explosives, dont cut on expenses. Your life is worth much more than a few extra $$$. Get yourself a proper cannon made out of proper steel by a reputeable manufacturer. :hatsoff: :v

You can search on this site, cannon mania.
Go with at least a 1" bore!
I shoot a 1" bore cannon, and use around 3-500 grains of powder, and it makes the ground shake! :thumbsup:

Big E,
What is least expensive to you? I have that .69 cannon that was mentioned. The 85 grns is for a projectile, I use about 150 for blanks and its pretty loud. Also, for it's size, it's a pretty strong shooter as far as throwin lead, only series of cannons that I know of that uses a patch for the ball.. The nice thing about it is that it's a little over 9 pounds, so it's easily moved about or transported. It's built like a tank aswell. Great value!
There are many cannons available, just depends on your price range. You can get a lot of bang for the buck if you buy barrel only and build the truck yourself.
