Very nice, now you need to build an industrial strength golf ball cleaner. That black powder residue would stain golf balls something fierce.
Many years ago when my BIL lived along the Ottawa River his neighbour had a scale model of a Civil war canon. They were firing lead balls into the river. I forget the exact scale of the piece but the ball was about 1 inch in diameter. They would place a charge in then grab a handful of grass for the wadding and then push the ball in. They were shooting at ranges between 200 and 300 yards. He built the gun himself using brass for the barrel and oak for the carriage. That was over 30 years ago.
