    A problem you may have is that most ranges (including MLAGB HQ at Wedgnock) have a max calibre of .75". A lot of ranges also have a max muzzle energy of 1465 ft/lbs (ish)

    Sorry it took so long but here are a few pictures of the 8 bore and another one of my babies. The first 3 are the antique 8 bore the other is a 70 something bore cannon I've just re-built. Will make some balls and get it proofed soon. The 8 bore is already proofed.
