There is an encyclopedia on here about the NAA Companion and Super Compaion.
Several of the threads and posts refer to a 1 grain and a 2 grain scoop for the BullsEye smokeless powder.
I don't have a scale, so I am asking does or is there a commercial scoop that would work to measure 1 grain or 2 grains of the B.E. ?
There was also reference to using empty 22 brass. I believe there was also a reference to a 22 short brass.
Is there any measurements for using a
22lr or a 22 short to dyi such a scoop?
Pocket,
McGunner stated in post #6:
"A full length .22 short case throws 1.8 grains."
And in posts #12 and #13 Mcgunner replied to a question by andrewstorm:
Question: "2 gr bulls eye ,is that the same as 3 cc scoops that come with the pistol, measure by volume?
Reply: "The scoop measures 2.4 grains by weight bullseye. I'm tossing these home made scoops (from .22 cases) onto an electronic scale for weighing. I've fired a NAA supplied scoop full just to see what it'd do, but I didn't have the chronograph with me. Saw no immediate leading of the bore and didn't feel much different than 2.0 grains. I plan to chronograph a 2.4 grain charge, but it might be fast enough to lead the bore. It certainly didn't harm the gun in any way that I could tell. Nipples unscrewed with ease and caps were in tact and would not fall out when the cylinder was removed...."

I think that you should try to find one of the compact electronic pocket scales that are sold in many tobacco shops and convenience stores.
Even some gas stations sell them.
You should be able to find one for under $20.
That's too funny.... Pocket needs a Pocket Scale!!!!
Be careful and be safe.
I don't know which NAA scoop that he's referring to or if there's more than one NAA scoop size since he has 2 different NAA C&B models.
McGunner was very clear that his home made scoops were adjusted to equal weighed charges that he put on a scale, and that all charges were by weight and not volume.
You need a scale to verify your charge weights.
