I enjoy making and shooting all types of firearms. Sniper rifles, antique guns, cannons and mortars. I have been a gunsmith for 45 years. I have a great shop and spend my days trying to think of something new to build. I am not a videographer ( maybe I can't even spell it) so you will need to over look some of my video techniques. Keep watching because I have a bunch of new ideas.
A new idea in reloading
Trim cartridges to length, turn the case necks, re-size and de-cap all in one die.

Playing with my dog Boondoggle ( a shelter dog) around a Civil War cannon. I gave him the rank of Lt. on the cannon crew because he is the only one who listens to my orders. It's like the others don't take me seriously.What's up with that?
Building a steel number 3 field carriage for a Civil War cannon

What we are trying to do is to build a cannon carriage that can be left outside in any weather. It needed to be as close to the original dimentions as possible and function as the originals did. It was alot more work than I had planned but it came out great!

Boondoggle, rimmington and a 20mm cannon 👌🏽
Beautiful barrel! I see you're using 3F powder for your cannons which seems a little fast vs 1F. Is there a reason for this?
I have tried everything. 1F very inconsistent velocities. Same with cannon powder. 3F and 2F work the best with the reduced loads that most recreational cannon shooters use.
zzzzz
A beauty.
What this is, is a big goof but at least you admitted to it. 😀 Remember, measure twice, cut once. You need (of course) a No.1 Field Carriage for a 10 pounder Parrott Rifle and possibly, possibly your Bobcat could raise it. 14 spokes per wheel, not 12.
И ГЛАВНОЕ, ЧТО ВЫСТРЕЛА ТАК И НЕ СДЕЛАЛИ! ВИДНО ВРАГОВ УБИВАЛ ИХ ТРЁП!!!
БОЖЕ!!! КАК ЖЕ ОНИ ЛЮБЯТ ТРЕПАТЬСЯ!!!
Question can a modern/ww2 40mm ammo fit in there?
no not even close
I used to be very interested in your videos until I lost my password and when I tried to find your chanel, could not find it. I am glad that I found it again
It's come home at long last. I promise i won't leave it laying on the lava flow this time😊😊
Does it have a canister round too?
I'm just now watching your vid on the 40mm whitworth again. If only I had known😊😊it is so cool
Your New Diego is interesting. What are the stats and the load/firing tables like? I have studied Civil War ordnance, including the Witworth. So I am interested in what they "Could" have nuilt and used
I am curious how far that cannon will shoot... max charge, 45% barrel angle....perhaps 2K yds ? Would be a heck of a surprise to opposition leadership, assuming they were relatively safe over 1000 yds.
Hay steve, im still here & still want this cannon😊 cannon mike
ТеРепло зажравшееся!!!
1900's to 1930's Hotchkiss Mark XIII & Mark XIV base inertial impact fuses, used in 2 pounder, 3 pounder, 6 pounder, 13 pounder & 18 pounder APHE shells also use shotgun primers. I own a 1934 pattern 2 pounder 40mm. APHE shell with a complete Mark XIV base fuse.
Musket caps would be more authentic...
You need some of those heavy bearing that bolt to the caraige good heavy duty ones like on a escavater for the hydrolic cylinders and she will be staying right there And use heavy grade bolts and a better thicker metal to bolt them to.or the ones with heavy bushings for heavy equipment and a grease fitting to keep it smooth on pivoting.get those from a salvage yard or new and a one and a quarter inch plate welded really good to bolt them to or weld them by a really good man that knows how to weld them to stay
Canada here, extremely cool
废话真多,一炮也不开

Miss you cannon videos
Me too. After those guys blew themselves up in that tank. The cannon shoots have stopped. around here anyway
Pretty slick!!! Patten that bad boy…!
I did. Just got the patent about a week ago.
I believe those Blue Practice rounds are from a Mk-19 Grenade Launcher, they use ammo that's a higher pressure than the M-79/M-203 40mm
What about the reamer head being bored down the center in the non cutting area then run a de capping rod down the center. Set in a way that after you insert the reamer it bottoms out on the primer and pushes up. Then after reaming and trimming the reamer bottoms out on the set collet taking pressure of the case mouth. That would allow you to then tap down a small flat disk with your palm or small rubber hammer. It would only need to rise out of the top of the reamer shaft ¹/8th" or so. Only issue I would see is smaller caliber casings with the OD dia. Of the reamer cutting serface and strength after adding a hole through it and with the limits of such, and the limits with the decaping rod OD. Although most the length would be supported by the shaft of the reamer. So in my quick brain plans im thinking you could probably be able to make a combo of such for down to 6.5 to 6mm ish. Also could work with replaceable/different sized cutting heads. Maybe you already thought of that. But nice work hope all is well and best of luck to you Sir.
Thank you for your comment. I did think of those ideas. I got the patent just the other day and I hope I can find somebody to manufacture the system. It has improved my shooting and made reloading much easier.
@@piutesteve love your work good luck and I hope I can get a few
@@neveraballfe8253 Thanks
Fun stuff good job.
Cade o tiro?? 💥
do you have plans to build a replica?
No
Is the powder in the bullet or do you add powder charges after the bullet?
the powder goes behind the bullet
This gun has been shot over 1000 times. It has shot 1 M.O.A. groups and averages 2 M.O.A.
you might try cleaning that thing by dragging a greasy possum through it by it's tail.
is this an NFA DD? or is it exempt as an antique?
what I was told over the phone by the ATF is, and I quote. If it does not shoot a self contained cartridge it's OK. This gun works the same way as the original Whitworth cannons. It is externally primed.
This is not a 16 pounder. It seems like 6 pounder cannon
your wrong a 6 pounder is under 3"
You reinvented the pipe bomb
Nothing blew up Did you watch to the end???
@@piutesteve I'd say its closer to a rocket than a pipe bomb.
Very nice
@piutesteve, I'm looking to make my own Whitworth. Wondering what threads you used for the breech?
The original Whitworth had a double lead thread. I am not sure the T.P.I. Mine is a single lead, one thread per inch. 4 turns closes the breach. If you could cut a double lead thread It would be nice.. That cuts the number of turns in half. Good luck be safe!!! make it stronger than you think it needs to be.
@@piutesteve I am using solid 1018 CRS. I am think stub acme for the thread. I can do double start but not sure yet if I will. What thread profile do recommend?
@@fyrbutkus I had one with buttress threads. It worked great. Mine are square threads 1/2" wide 1/2" deep. they work great also. If your gun is going to be a bag gun make sure to leave lots of clearance for powder fouling. All that being said I think I would go with acme threads. It would be a good idea to check with an engineer. EVERY TIME YOU TEST A CANNON OR CHANGE YOUR LOAD EVEN SLIGHTY. TREAT IT LIKE A PROOF TEST. BE BEHIND A BUNKER. I know of 2 people that died because they didn't.... Be safe. I love cannons but they are dangerous bastards.
I stand amazed at the accuracy of that cannon. I was aware of the Whitworth rifle and its accuracy - but not the cannon. Thank you, great footage!
Thank you It's so nice to get good comments
I thought the Whitworth fired a "bolt" like the small arm rifle? That's a pretty conventional bore.
The Whitworth rifles did have a hexagonal bore that was very unique. But the most advanced thing about them was the breech loading system. The rifling turned out to be not that good of an idea. Nobody is using it today, but all modern guns are breech loaders. It's the breech loading system that makes it a Whitworth in my opinion.
A little less dishwashing and more shooting...
piutestevе How far could such cannons shoot?
It shoots a mile with reasonable accuracy.
@@piutesteve Thanks. Smooth-bore barrel without rifling?
@@ЖелезныйДровосек-б9ж It's rifled. The gun is made from a 40mm bofors barrel
@@piutesteve Clearly many thanks for your answer.
10,000 yards for the real gun. 10,000 !
Awesome, what kind of lathe is that in the back ground?
It's a Summit lathe. American made with foreign parts. It's a good lathe. Not the best but still a good lathe
Nice!
Its split NOW!🤗
300 blk out !
I hope I can find somebody to make these in all the calibers
Not sure if it would work but maybe lee make a quick trim? It is another step but it may suffice
The beauty of it is that you trim every time, So your never trimming much. But I have trimmed 45-90 down to 45-70 All the chips end up in the case.
What an ingenious design that saves time, energy, and actually improves the results over traditional sizing and trimming operations. Why did it take so long for someone to figure this out? Great job!!
I have just watched that dreary monotone dross waiting for the gun muzzle to speak ,the powder to ignite, then the cannonball( s) to fly but NO!!!!.What was the bloody point of all that? There wasn't even a fissle. Even that mutt in the video got fed up and keeled over ,semi comatose! Oh well perhaps next time !.
Fuck you don't watch it
Looks great, congrats!
Every competition Shooter and hunter in the world will want one. Wish I had one before my next sniper match!!!!
I hope so
