Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 The hull of HMS victory were quite a bit thicker than that target, two feet at the waterline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdeacon Joe Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) Looks like a 12 pounder. Now he needs to do the same thing using a 42 pounder and a 24 pounder. At live shoots I've seen 6 pound shot go almost all the way through a 14 inch oak tree.* Stopped about 4 inches short of breaking through. ADDED: That was using a half pound of Goex Fg at about 200 yards, Edited November 22, 2021 by Subdeacon Joe Added powder charge and range 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
