Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders blank firing cannon?

this dosn't pertain to muzzle loaders 'cause it's for a traditions minni cannon, but i'm having trouble w/the boom part wile just firing wads (stuffed tp down the bore). i know this can be done w/rifles and pistols. i don't want to fire any projectiles most of the time, just make some racket during the 4th "o" july. the owners mannual only says how to load w/round balls, 10-20gr fg or ffg powder (fffg may be used in small cal. cannons). any ideas?

use the same charge but replace the balls with a wad . the wad will alow the powder to make bressure and go BOOM

Like the other said. You can also add a thick ball of foil to make it sound louder.
