Yes, Gus, glad you decided to throw that hat in the right ring! I have hesitated for many years to post any opinions as I was grateful to learn from others experiences. But after 20 years of doing this I found I've had plenty of valid experiences also. Some of what I've read about loading Black Powder in cartridges or in percussion pistols here correlates with my findings and some does not. However, i am still grateful to those, like yourself, who take the time to share your hard earned knowledge freely. The ONE thing I've found about Black Powder is there is more than one way to skin a cat! That makes the continued experimentation all the more interesting. All The best to You Gus, Navy Six
