I think I asked this on the wrong site. How much 2FF Goex should I load in a 38 Long Colt with a 158gr. cast RN. Seems all loads say 3FFF. all I have is 5 lbs. 2FF. I was thinking 17 to 19grs. 2 FF?
Thanks,
Reno

In all honesty the grains are irrelevant. Simply fill the case so the base of the bullet compresses the powder a bit and you are good to go.

Thanks Pettifoger, that is what I usually do, with 44/40 and 45 Colt just wonder how much was in them.
Thanks again

Pettifogger said it. FFg will result in somewhat lower velocity/pressure than FFFg but all goodtago.
FWIW; (Very little) You could use a dipper that would drop "about" 18 to 18.5 gr of FFFg. Volume is the critical measurement.

PLUS ONE for Pettifogger.
Loading BP and Subs is actually super simple.
Or, you could spread an amount of 2f on a paper, count out the appropriate number of grains (I'd go 20 personally) and there's your load
