After years of shooting the mortar with an improvise breach plug and cannon fuse I finally bought one of the breach mechanisms from Sarryco, like every thing I ever buy from them it required fitting to work, but it is so much better then cannon fuse, it takes a 12 gauge black powder shell,I use about 100 grains of Pyrodex FFF, which is only about half a 12 gauge, I turn my rounds out of old bowling pins,I get about 250 yards, since I figured I might be shooting it more often I decided I would build a bipod for it, I base my design loosely on the m-2 tripod, again every thing came from the bone pile, maybe someday I'll get lucky and find a reasonable US WW2 mortar bipod but for now this works really good!
