Canister shot
« on: December 07, 2015, 12:50:59 PM »
Dave Gotter (CanisterD) and I got into a big pile of canister parts at Franklin and have several reconstruction projects in mid flight.  We could use canister shot in the following sizes for projects he has underway:

Allowable diameters in inches

6-Pdr. Gun   1.14-1.17
12-Pdr. Mountain Howitzer   .65 lead musket balls   
12-Pdr. Gun   1.46-1.49
24-Pdr. Gun   1.84-1.87
24-Pdr. Howitzer   1.32-1.35
32-Pdr. Gun   2.02-2.06


Happy to buy outright or trade for these.  Thanks.
