Whow!!!
O>K>, I finely got all my stuff together last week. Took Mikes advice and loaded up some Carbine loads with 55 grains of pyrodex behind a 405 grain bullet for my Trapdoor. What a thrill, got BP smoke up my nose and think it's mixing in my blood. Now I'm thinking real hard about a reproduction Sharps or rolling block. Anybody got any suggestions?
By the way, how much should a 55 grain (vol.) charge weigh? Mine varied between 2.33 gn and 2.37 gn. so I used 2.36. My adjustable measure is graduated in 10 grain increments. Just guessed at half way between the lines.
