how to accurately measure black powder?
Either by volume in a graduated powder measure or by weight on a powder scale. Xhow to accurately measure black powder?
Can't say that C word but you might qualify for uninformed as most if not all competitions are won with weighed charges no matter the powder . Mine is real black and you use whatever suits you but volume is quik but not accurate as every one of those charges vary more than the weighed charge given a quality powder . The difference is quite dramatic as yardage increases ,perhaps not traditional as you'd like but it gets the job done and better if accuracy counts !/EdTraditionall, black powder was measured by VOLUME.
More recently, some have started measuring using weight. I think this is mostly folks using Blackhorn 209, or smokeless muzzleloaders.
Call me a curmudgeon, but I don’t like to see this. I think it presents a grave danger for the newbie, or especially the uninformed!
