Has anyone tried 4fg as a main charge? If so, what caliber/gage and what were the results? Would 10 grains of 4fg be safe in a .32 percussion? robin

I COULD die in my car today or be injured.Frankly I think this discussion is pointless & ridiculous. Why would anyone want to use 4FG as a main charge? There is no need & certainly no benefit. 300 years & more of using the correct loads & now suddenly we want to try something new which could cause injury & deaths. This is even more stupid than batoning a good hunting knife to split kindling, & right up there with using glue to secure the base plug on a powder horn!!! Let's please have some common sense on this forum!

That's all news to me, never have seen any documentation on something like that.Actually 4F was traditionally used as a main charge. Your statement about the past 300 yds is incorrect. In fact it was used right into the time frame of metallic cartridges, and not in just smaller calibers.
Here we go,,,,,, again........
I COULD die in my car today or be injured.
I COULD fall down the stairs.
I COULD trip via my wife's miss placed bra....again!
There are in fact countless facts and stats that prove without a doubt of the risks from pending threats and risks that will and do result in harm that indeed surround us every day.
But.....I ain't ever seen or read of a single test that demonstrates a gun failure via 4f alone!
Nitro can do it in modern guns mis used or in the wrong application and it is clearly documented.....but not 4f. Ummmm.
There is a difference between doing things that are obviously dangerous and things that people believe are dangerous but aren't supported by evidence. There must be a proven causal relationship between the action and the outcome for the concern to be valid. In this case (and many others) there isn't anything that links the use of FFFFg as the main charge to catastrophic barrel failure except a chain of "they said...." statements lacking any support.Yes sir, your number could be up, many many different ways, however the way I look at it is, what if your number is pretty far back, why do something that's going to put you in the front of the line.....Like smoking for example, or playing ping pong with the table placed on the dotted line on the interstate, or skinny dipping in a shark tank. Yeah, you'll cheat the reaper for a while, but some day he's gonna come to collect, and by doing things like using 4fg as a main charge, he's gonna show up at your door sooner than you think.
