Cannonballs are ammunition used in the Dwarf multicannon. After partial completion of the Dwarf cannon quest, with 35 Smithing and an ammo mould, they can be made using a steel bar on a furnace yielding 25.6 Smithing experience and 4 cannonballs.
Granite dust can be used on cannonballs to create granite cannonballs, which have a higher max hit. This requires level 50 Smithing and yields no experience.

A player smithing cannonballs.
Making cannonballs is a popular method for players to train Smithing and profit without requiring much input or attention. A full inventory takes 159.6 seconds to process. Optimal speeds yield nearly 14,000 Smithing experience per hour from converting a total of 540 steel bars into 2,160 cannonballs when not using the Prifddinas furnace. Using a furnace closer to a bank will increase efficiency.
Players can also smelt one iron ore and two coal to make the steel bars and then use them to make cannonballs without returning to a bank, but it is very slow. Unless using the Blast furnace with a Coal bag, the profit gained from creating your own steel bars is far less than using premade steel bars.
