Got the cannon out and made up some powder packets for it. For those who don't know how, this seems to be the preferred way to make them for a cannon. I will make packets full of cornmeal about twice as big to load as blanks for compression. I am using about 500 grains of 1F powder in the 1.5" bore of the cannon.
Roll the foil over an aluminum dowel,
Twist the end and snip the tail off.
Slide it into a form and pop it with the hammer and flattens the tail into the form.
Fill the cylinder of foil with the correct amount of powder.
Twist a tail on the other end and snip off excess.
Back into the cylinder to compress.
Final product.
