Reading thru some articles I found a suggested Colt Factory load for the .36Navy at 18gr and oddly this cross references with a paper wrapped cartrige loading the Troops were issued during the Civil War. Paper wrapped powder and Ball.
Now my favorite load has been 20 gr for my .36's and it's worked well with almost no recoil and a solid Muzzle report, it's been accurate and consistant.
I know that just 2 gr won't make much difference, and that I'm NOT overloading with my load but do any of you subscribe to that 18gr load for your shooting?
I just want to get my style of shooting down to the most historically correct to see and enjoy my revolvers to the utmost.
Comments or opnions?
Thanks,
