I know the best way to get the correct powder charge for any muzzleloader is to obtain it by shooting results. I am considering trying 3F in my rifles which I have never done. Is there a general rule of thumb for converting the volume of 2F to 3F and keep about the same ballistic results? I am talking ball park, not exact, as what I have said in my opening sentence. I am thinking percentages with this question. For example: 100 gr of 2F would be substituted with 90 gr of 3F,.........50 gr of 2F would be substituted with 45 gr of 3F.
I used 10% as a guess and wondered if anyone might have a more correct percentage?
50 cal and smaller rifles are the ones in question.
