[QUOTE="ShootnMathews, post: 868835, member: 59915"] Thanks for all the replies here everyone. Based on your replies I have done some more research. Hodgdon says that "by volume" triple seven has about the same energy as black powder. But it weighs approx. 70% less because it's less dense. I want to shoot 120 grains of powder. 120 grains x 70% = 84 grains. So I think I will start with a weighed charge of 80 grains. Does this sound appropriate?? One person in my reading says that 100 by volume 777 weighs 77 grains. But maybe his measure is large or maybe hodgdons estimate is conservative. My muzzleloader will shoot 150 grains so aiming for 120 grain equivalent I believe I should be safe at a weighed 80 grain charge. I'd just like some opinions. Thanks [/QUOTE]
