This is a revision of the chart I put on Captain Baylor's Ranger Camp in 2005. Then I used an adjustable
measure to measure 100 gr. FFg by weight then use that measure to produce the same volume of Black Powder Substitutes.
This time I started with a 4.0 cc. Lyman dipper and weighed 5 samples of each powder, then averaged.
Black Powder Loads are normally measured in volume. 15 gr. vol. is 1.0 cc.
1.0 cc. weighs approximately 15 gr. This chart converts to weights of equivalent volumes.
Weights were rounded to the nearest .1 gr. Duplicating results closer than the nearest grain using BP and subs is difficult and unnecessary.
The old chart is still on the site at :
