I maybe assuming incorrectly, but I am assuming that a 3.2 oz black powder flask, is being measured on 3.2oz of weight and not volume.
Yet when we measure black powder grains for use in our guns, we are measuring by volume.
So a couple of Questions.... how many grains by volume of FFG is a 3.2oz flask? By weight a calculator says about 1400 grains. But again that based on weight. I do know that 7000 grains by weight is 1lb (16 oz).
second... on my cannon, I use one lymans 3.2cc measuring cups for each charge in my cannon. (FFG) I wonder how many grains by volume is 3.2cc? Since it is a whole set.
How many cc’s would say 60 grains be of BP? 70?
