A kitchen measuring teaspoon (leveled) will hold 72 grns of 2f Goex by weight so 1/8 teaspoon is about 9 grains of powderNewbe said:Can some tell me what the Volume of approx. 10 grains of black powder be (1/16, 1/8...Teaspoon) what unit of measure. :idunno:

Are you kidding? :rotf: :rotf:
Excuse me while I stop laughing....... :haha:
There are some shooters, mostly slug gun and bench rest guys who bring machine shops, kitchen sinks, monastic monks to sing chants, new age dancers, strange idols and whatever else possible, or impossible to the range to help them (in their minds) shoot accurately. Small bottles of powder would not even be noticed.
Seriously (well....as serious as I can get after your question. :grin: ) we all have our own quirks, methods and routines at shoots. :v
