editSo, the body of text nor the info box say anything about the "13 pdr"'s bore pr shot diameter. Nor was there links to items on the Commons. Those would be these:
Commons
So the case shot is 2.96", "give or take", while Common, or Shrapnel is 2.97".
The Cutaway Image of the Barrel itself, is 3" Bore, rifling perhaps .05"
Unfortunately, while there is an image of the cannon with a geared elevation arm, I cannot find details on the +/- Elevation limits. Also cannot find dimensions or weight for carriage, since the weight rating still seems to be for the barrel (inc. breech, trunnions, etc) alone. (Things get weirder once recoil springs and hydraulics get involved!)2603:7080:CB3F:5032:59A7:AF30:AE1:6097 (talk) 22:56, 14 September 2022 (UTC)
