[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1775675, member: 52437"] I’ve been muzzleload hunting for years now and always just used my volume measure for bh209. I would measure 120grains volume for my cva accura. Well I wanted to get more consistent powder measures so I decided I would switch to weight which blackhorn states 120grains volumes should be about 84grains by weight so measured out 3 volume charges of 120 and then weighed them and I’m getting 92-94 grains which is way over the suggested 84 grains it should be. This has been verified on two different scales. I have ALWAYS used this load but it seems I’ve been walking a very fine line. I must have shot 30 or more shots like this over the years using my 225 grain ftp bullets in sabots. What’s everyone’s opinion on this? Am I missing something here? The 120 volume load has been pretty dang accurate for me so I’m hesitant to drop down by almost 8-10grains weight but safety is 100% priority. [/QUOTE]
