pyrodex and true blackpowder are used volume for volume. 90 gr is 90gr measured volume not weighed on a scale. industry has made these nice measured scales that they say equals so many weighted grains. We all use them. So why the big difference in felt recoil between pellets and loose powder? That is the question. I use the same load for pyrodex for the in-line as I do black powder for the flintlock 100 grs. If I use 2 -50 gr pellets it feels like a 50% reduction on recoil. Don't know the answer on this one! |
