[QUOTE="cornchuck, post: 1764653, member: 20220"] I have a Remington 700ml in .45 cal. I had it converted to the Badger Ridge firing system so I could shot Blackhorn 209. I had it out a couple weekends ago to find my new load. I started at 90 grs. by volume and went up to 110 grs. 110 grs. is where I settled shooting 220 gr. Dead Center bullets from Precision Rifle Muzzleloading Bullets. This is the same bullet and powder weight that my old load was but it was with 777 granular powder. Looking on the Western Powders for Blackhorn, they say to convert it by volume to weight, multiply by .7. Example: 100 x .7 = 77 grs by weight. I was just curious so I weighed 110 gr by volume on my reloading scale and came up with 87.26 grs. If I do the math, at 87.26 grs gives me 124.6 grs by volume. I use a brass sliding measurer. Am I missing something? Do I need to measure Blackhorn different? Jason [/QUOTE]
