A good friend here and real-world has tried to help me understand Triple Seven versus real black powder weight and volume equivalents. I continue to have trouble grasping it. I'm honestly embarrassed to ask Bob again to explain it, and yes I feel stupid.
I'm making paper cartridges for our Ruger Old Army's and our single shot CVA Optima V2 .50 caliber pistol. We only use Triple Seven, have no real black powder to weigh, and have several different brass measures that screw into our brass powder containers. I have one of those adjustable sliding plunger brass syringe-looking measures to show "volume(?)" of powder which I am guessing is for real BP. It goes from 10 to 120 but doesn't say what the units represent.
We do have a new RCBS beam scale so I can weigh charges of Triple Seven.
Please, can someone share a link to a chart that will show me written out black powder equivalents using weight for both FFG and FFFG Triple Seven? I'm shooting what I think is between 25 grains and 75 grains of 777.
If I can weigh out Triple Seven on our scale and be correct in BP equivalents I'd have what I need.
Thanks for any link to a chart or math formula I can write down and use.
