Welcome to the forums. I can see you are doing your homework before you start. Hope you stick around and I look foreward to seeing your cannon. I have used 1" wooden dowel rod, and ice slugs. Also bb filled cylinders I made out of non corugated thin cardboard and duct tape. You can use pretty much anything that fits down the barrel. Remember if its not an airtight seal then you should use wadding for a slight boost in performance.

finish your cannon and post pictures, then we can give you a better idea of what would be a good ammo to use for the performance.

you could buy 1" ball bearings, or cast a bouncy ball and then melt lead and pour it in the cast and make lead ammo. it would help if you gave some specifics of the cannon to
