I posted this in the reloading thread and was suggested to try the BP forum.
It's just a new thing for me and I want to make sure I do it right.
Thanks for all the help.
I have an old Syracuse Arms New Damascus Steel sxs. I'm wanting to load some era appropriate shells for it. Also, I am wanting something for the home defense scenario as well. (Don't judge, it's what I have.)
I was wanting to know if there is something besides standard black powder or pyrodex that I could use.
I can get BP but would rather not. Just too nasty.
Pyrodex is a little better. Still corrosive to brass and steel.
Can I use Hodges triple 7?
If so, what type and how many grains by volume?
FG, FFG, or FFFG?
This sounds like a good idea. Raises too many questions for me. I would like to use the old gun. Not blow it up.
I'm new to shotshell reloading. I have been reloading mainly pistol for the past several years.
Any insight is appreciated. Thanks.
