Over the years I have accumulated various sizes of blackpowder and have on hand containers of FFFF, FFF, and FF. As some barrel manufacturers like Rice specify to use no smaller than F or FF, I am wondering if there is a way to convert grains of one size to grains of another should I ever find myself in a SHTF scenario, have to resort to my longrifle for survival, and run out of FF.
For example, if the max load for my rifle is 80 grains of FF, is there a way to determine an equivalent smaller load (volume) of FFF or FFFF? Realizing this would affect accuracy, the chief concern is not marksmanship, but being able to simply fire the rifle safely without causing damage to the barrel.
