    Powder Weight vs volume? New to purcussion.

    That's why I want in it I posted on another reply. Im looking for the adrenaline. Its harder to find after some things I have been apart of

    Powder Weight vs volume? New to purcussion.

    I already enjoy it. Much more to dive into. I am tempted to use if for rifle but I have two guns with no kills for that. I lost alot of things that give me adrenaline like they used to..and I'm only 26 so I'm hoping this does what bow hunting does for me again. I will post any results of this...

    Makes sense i have been weighing 8 charges out and keeping em in my bag. Glad to know I didn't push it to high and over the max load but I'm still learning and pretty happy with my results so far. I will tweak it and get a powder measure..sounds safer.

    I agree. I don't plan on changing this setup now that I have it dialed in maybe backing down a bit after this season. Will pull out the chronograph soon. Never was into black powder much but I think it will be pretty exciting to go old-school for some deer hunting. Once my mold comes in I will...

    So I may just get a volume measuring and keep it just under 100

    Powder Weight vs volume? New to purcussion.

    In my theory it shouldn't matter same weight of 75 grains should equal 97.5 grains volume every time as well. I tried just going off the volume in the tube to match the ones I weighed out and still good results just kept it between 95 and 100. I was able to hit a 8 inch plate at 100 yard s 10...

    Ok so no expansion unless bone is what I'm taking from it. Don't matter a .50 hole is plenty. Thanks im hoping for chance to test that.

    Makes sense that round ball will lose velocity like that. I would drop down the charge if I wasn't already sighted in for it and holding a good group. I wouldn't shoot 100 yards unless I had perfect conditions...even then I won't this year till I get a bit better at free hand shots. Any...

    Im shooting a 32 inch barrel with 1/48 twist manual shows max load with pyrodex rs as 110 grains. So 97.5g should be safe. Hopefully i get a chance at a deer with it this year. Thanks for the input

    Would 100g still be in spec. I would like to keep this load so if its still in the safe range I should be good to go right?

    Powder Weight vs volume? New to purcussion.

    I have purchased a traditions .50 mountain rifle and after reading through some posts I have decided on patched round ball for michigan deer hunting. I am shooting pyrodex with a .49 roundball and 0.18 pre lubed patch. I am getting excellent accuracy (based on my limited experience) at 50 yards...
