Maybe you got a leak somewhere... Have you been venting it out every time. Try cleaning the fireing chamber and your barrel. What do you fire. If you fire spuds maybe your spuds aren't the same shape and let too much pressure escape. Hope it helped a bit.

You won't lose 20% from leakage around your tater, much less 95%.
It's most likely a issue with improper combustion, so I ask: are you venting the cannon after each shot?
