I know it is common sense and common practice to use 3F BP in Cap and Ball Revolvers, and in Black Powder Metallic Cartridge Hand Gun contexts.
Some people have said they have had good luck using 2F in the larger Calibers, such as the .44s.
I am wondering, what would the actual result be, if one were to use a full charge by volume, of 4F, in a mid size Caliber, such as a .36? Or, for loading .38 Special Metallic Cartridge?
Would it make too much pressure for the Cylinder? Would it give higher FPS than 3F? Would it be alright to do? would it be dangerous to the Arm?
