Goex and Tripple 7 with a scoop?

[BowerR64]

I normally use only 2 measuring tools when i shoot .44 an empty .40 S&W or an empty .45ACP shell they are easy to find and short and fat easy to scop with.

I read in a different post that the .40 shell holds about 19 grains and the .45 holds about 26 using Tripple 7 these 2 are perfect

So if i want to match the pop of the tripple 7 using goex i need to up it by 15% ?

The 45ACP of goex would give about the same pop as the .40 of tripple 7?

Then to get about the same pop of the tripple 7 using the 45acp shell ide need a .44 special load of goex.

Are you confused yet? :banghead:

I've had some pretty dismal velocities with different powder/lots so to suggest a broadbrush 15% equivalency might not be accurate. WANO for example ignited for me with the least effort and consistency was great.... but recoil was heavy and velocity reduced from GOEX.

I also understand that Swiss is every bit as hot as 777, so experimentation with a chronograph I would think would be the safest tabulation. 777 suggests that you reduce your loads from Black!

17 grains from the goex is about 15% more then the 15 grains from the swiss and you got almost the same FPS

And all the powders you are using are 3F right?

Overall it seems swiss is a far superior powder to goex in spread and velocities. Wish we could get it here in Hawaii.

Very interesting looking pistol!

Aloha..
