I read this and thought you said you bought an 1841lb Canon Safe, and thought that you were going to scare you neighbors when you moved it into the house because who needs a safe that large unless they've got ton of guns.
Then I read powder and holy crap, you bought one freaking huge gun! lol Sounds awesome, pics are a must!!

If it's a Hern barrel it is probably 2 1/4". 1f or cannon work well.
Definitely needs pictures. I've taken mine out to the south site. If you go in a ways there are 220 to 240 yard ranges with a nice ridge behind so you have a fair chance of finding your rounds. At four pounds of lead a piece it is worth doing. If you're shooting rounds the weight should be less.

Jealous. I want a cannon. What does a cannon go for?

Are we going to see this canon next to the man's restroom at the tanner show? [LOL]
So what's something like that cost? Is it a replica or a real one restored?
It would definitely look sweet in the front yard!
It's info like this that gets folks divorced. I've already spent too much time trying to find an "entry level" cannon.
