My powder measure is set at six on the scale and it pours about fifty six grains in weight. I used it as a plinking amount for my .54 cal rifle and it is an accurate load for fifty yards with this rifle. I left the measurement there when I got my .50 cal rifle and the load did just about as well with it. Didn't change a thing when I got my .45 cal Pedersoli, and had the same results with accuracy.
I know this is not really a hunting load for the .50 or the .54, but it might be for the .45. I think I'll just keep blasting with this load of 3X til I need a real hunting load then maybe just get another measure for the hunter and keep the plinking measure like it is. All kind of options here and all good. Think I may even make a hunting load measure out of something.
I'm just rambling here, keeping my thoughts in order. I've come somewhat obsessed with these muzzle loading guns.
