Depends entirely on the size of the bore, and what you are shooting in it. Larger cannon abviously take more poweder than smaller bore cannon. Cannon could fire shot (solid metal balls) shell (hollow metal projectile loaded with gunpowder, intended to explode on the target) and cannister or grapeshot (giant shotguns shell filled with lead balls) Each used a different powder load.
