### Review1
I'll take this one. Parsecboy (talk) 15:20, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
Lead

"bronze smoothbore muzzle-loading" is a bit WP:SEAOFBLUE - I try to avoid 3 adjacent links
 Done Muzzleloader moved to second sentence.
Can we link to common shell? Not ideal to send readers to the British glossary, but the definition is the same and gives readers who don't already know what it means a useful explanation
 Done Used Glossary of British ordnance terms.
Nitpicky, but I think "1,504 yd (1,375.3 m)" is excessive precision - I'd round down to 1,375m
 Done Removed decimal.
Specifications

"75.0 in", "71.0 in", etc - you can drop the decimal (and in the case of the "6.40", trim it to just "6.4")
 Done Used fewer decimals. Used mm for caliber & cm for barrel length.
Link Muzzle (firearms), Limbers and caissons
 Done Used links as requested.
References

Is the Battles and Leaders book this one? If so, the citation can be beefed up a bit to include editors, the subtitle for Vol. II, OCLC number, etc.)
 Done Add article name, last/first, author-link, subtitle & oclc. Note sure if Porter is an editor or author. (Yes, I have a 1956 edition for Vol. 2. For the other 3 volumes, I have 1987 versions.)
That's all for the moment. Nice work overall! Parsecboy (talk) 15:58, 15 August 2025 (UTC)
