Well today I measured some flasks by volume with Grafs (Schuetzen) 3FG Black Powder. Not super precise, just leveled out in a measuring cup.
First up was a CVA Powder Horn (ML032), the largest powder carrier size wise compared with the flasks. It held a measly 4 ounces.
All Flasks are Pedersoli:
E. Pluribus Unum: 1.5 ounces
Remington Pistol: 4 ounces
Colt Pistol: 6 ounces
French Flask: 7 ounces
I thought for sure that Frenchy was going to hold a lot more than the Colt but looks are deceiving to me eye, they are not that different in size.
Now I'll have a better idea of how many shots we can get from a particular flask with a particular spout (load).
Anyone done it by weight or with more precision?
