[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1170709, member: 10291"] [b]Re: .45-7[/b] I think it is very important to realize that black powder loading and ballistic performance is generally defined by loading volume as opposed to weight. Whether using a drop tube or not the volume of ffg vs ffg will be different at a given weight and you will not fit the same amount by weight in a fixed space when loading to full case capacity. Even compressed, there is less air space between the smaller granules of fffg and therefore the pressure dynamics and burn rates are different IMO. [/QUOTE]
