[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 868842, member: 33046"] For me............. I would be very skeptical about the 70% ordeal and wouldn't trust that. Dang, I can't find that conversion number....... What I would do, which I'm not suggesting you do...... I would make sure that I had an accurate volume measure first, which can be a chore in itself. Over the years I've found that some can be off considerably. I had one that was actually 30grs heavy. In other words, if I'd have use that measure and wanted a maximum charge of 150grs, it would have actually been equilivent to 180grs. Dangerous! It appears that the one that is most accurate made today, is the T/C see through volume measure. In my experience, which may not be right so take it with a grain of salt, I verify my volume measures with actual Goex 2f. However..... I don't shoot T7 and only shoot BH209. Then I would set the measure at 100grs and fill it 10 times, weigh each charge and record them. I would then average the 10 different weights and that would give me my starting point and the math will take over from there. If I confirmed a volume measure by using actual 2f at 100grs, 110grs and 120grs, I would use the same process in confirming my 120gr preferred load. However....... I AM NOT RECOMMENDING YOU WEIGHT YOUR CHARGES. YOU SHOULD FOLLOW ALL RECOMMENDATIONS OF YOUR RIFLE MANUFACTURER AND PROPELLANT MANUFACTURER. Safety first..... I'll ask a couple guys I know....
