Powder weight to volume - I dont want to blow myself up !!
Posted: Sun Mar 18, 2012 8:21 pm
Hi all.
So looking at loading up for the Martini and furthermore my other guns.
I have noticed that pyrodex is measured in volume. So I would assume that I need to assertain what one grain is in weight, convert what the one grain is in volume then x by the number I want to use in a load ?
So hyperphetically if I weighed 1 grain and it was say .75gr in weight, what would that be in volume, it would be handy if pos to have an equation ?
Am I correct, or am I on track to having a rather sooted up face soon ?
Thanks again
