I notice that you are weighing your charges. I have always measured by volume. Is there an advantage to weighing the BP charges?
-
@hamielrs i dont, i was just asking. i use varget for my .308
-
@danthman114 why would you want to do that? and no.
-
is it at all possible to load black powder in more modern rounds? for example, .308 win?
-
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.

@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.
-
@tonylevin13 it goes just inside the case mouth
-
Brass drop tube goes into the case to the bottom, or it rest at the neck's case ?

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 ?

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!
