How to Load Black Powder Cartridge Rifle (BPCR) Ammo.

[Sixguns4fighting]

I notice that you are weighing your charges. I have always measured by volume. Is there an advantage to weighing the BP charges?

[danthman114]

is it at all possible to load black powder in more modern rounds? for example, .308 win?

[hamielrs]

@danthman114 why would you want to do that? and no.

[danthman114]

@hamielrs i dont, i was just asking. i use varget for my .308

I am loading for 45-70 with 65 grs of power and a 500 gr cast bullet is there ever to much compression for a load.

Brass drop tube goes into the case to the bottom, or it rest at the neck's case ?

[craveman85]

@tonylevin13 it goes just inside the case mouth

Good video.... Thanks.... I've been loading .38 Special & .44 Mag with BP..... can I also load bottleneck rifle cartridges with BP ? Such as 8 X 57 Mauser, & .300 Savage ?

[craveman85]

@xzqzq bottleneck cartridges are not very efficient for loading bp. the 32 special was designed so it could be loaded either bp or smokeless though.

[craveman85]

what cartrige were you loading? you must have a really long throat to seat the bullet out that far too. im loading 45-70 black powder loads but have been having accuracy issues.

I thought blackpowder loads are measured by volume. Not weight.

[tainwii]

you are correct-they measure powder by volume for muzzle-loading purposes, but not cartridges.

Very nice video. I'm about to load my first black powder cartridge (38 S&W) and I like the idea of putting a thin paper wad over the primer so no BP trickles down into the primer. Never heard that one before. Thanks again!

I like how much info there was in the video even while keeping it short, very well condensed. thanks again for posting your lube recipe, works great.
