I used to hammer .22 blank shells till I got a piece in my leg. Never put a Black Cat fire cracker in a 8 oz coke bottle, it turns into a glass hand grenade. Guess how I know Cheesy

From what I've been able to find out the cannon is safe to shoot with a breach over three times the bore diameter, 1/2 inch bore and 2 1/4 inch breach and the barrel is over twice the bore at 1 1/4 inches.
The 50 grains of FF powder pushing a .490 patched ball didn't blow it up which is the load I use in my flintlock pistols. Around 35 grains FF should be just about right and safe for the cannon. Any lighter load and the ball rebounds off my wood backstop kind of like a BB but much bigger.
Next time the antique show hits town I'll see about getting it apraised just for the heck of it.
