Is there an optimal angle for shooting projectiles as far as possible?

Consider a cannon firing something into the air. If the objective was to launch the shot as far as possible, what angle would the bore have to be in relation to the ground? If all factors were constant, is there a specific angle for max distance? One that is not too dramatic nor too shallow, to get the projectile as far from it's starting position as possible?
