Howdy to the camp,
After about a 3 -3 1/2 years hiatus from active shooting, I am returning to CAS on a limited basis, though I will not be shooting real black in BP Cartridge anymore (not enough time or energy to mess with it). I'll be using a .44-40 Century LTD Marlin, 1897 Winchester SG, and probably a pair of .44 Colt/Spcl revolvers since I load for a S&W Model 29 and have tons of components.
Here's the problem: At 60, CRS (Can't remember sh&t) has set in, and for the life of me, I can't remember Triple 7 loading data. IIRC you use only 1/8" compression. Also if I recall, a .44-40 takes about 33 grains of Triple 7 by WEIGHT, which equals 38 by Volume of black. Help an old man out. I like the boom and smoke, but don't want the mess of BP (I can't believe I actually uttered those words! I must be getting old!). I really like the accuracy of Triple 7, and it dumps well from my auto powder dump on my LEE turret press, too.
Thanks in advance
