    You may have been using the wrong stuff as we never had a ball break up in flight and if we didn't hit anything too hard we could re use them. I will check the sack of mix and get the right brand. As to bore wear, after 25 rounds I noticed so light polishing, but no measurable wear, but we shot ours with a centering base wad made from scrap 1/4" ply and masking tape.

    Since I have a Fur Trade cannon I don't shoot cats I use Ground squirrels. If you use a corn trail they load themselves and the fur keeps the bore clean between shots. They are also good for shooting AT cats.

    Cats

    Enough with the cats in chains and being shot out of canons; CarpetMan is going to end up with a 'woodie' and run amok at the San Angelo Sheep Pens..
