I've got such a way to go to learn more about my Ruger Old Army's friends. I have some FFF Triple Seven, but have been using up a can of American Pioneer for the last several years and have not tried the T7. I just use the powder dispenser nozzle that came with my CVA brass dispenser, and it seems to fill the chamber a little over half way, but I don't have a scale to weigh the charge. I'm not hunting, but rather am just having a good time making smoke and noise while trying to cut cloverleafs on target. Round ball is my projectile of choice, with a felt wad to cushion the pill. I prefer CCI #11 magnum caps which I think may be important data in an equation.
Anyone care to suggest a Triple Seven starting load for this kind of enjoyment? Honestly I'm still confused about load "equivalents" and reduction for using the more powerful T7. I wish it was simply a volume measure like "CC's" I could wrap my head around. I'm sure I'm making it more complicated than it really is though. Always enjoy and appreciate reading answers. Don
