Paladin Gun For Hire 33 Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Wow Joe, How big of a charge was that one? Link to post Share on other sites
Subdeacon Joe 28,230 Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 Wow Joe, How big of a charge was that one? That was the Christening of Christian. So the owner stoked him with a full service charge of 14,000 grains (2 pounds) of Cannon Grade Goex. It was impressive. Actually, that was the service charge for common shell. For solid shot or case, the charge was 2 1/2 pounds according to the Table of Fire. The builder, Steen Cannon works, says no less than one pound for that gun. Full size Napoleon.
