[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 2577168, member: 24459"] Just to add a little more about Black Powder. 3F makes for higher pressures in larger calibers, yet 2F is said to create dangerous high pressures in smaller calibers. If either is true it would effect felt recoil. The fake powder only compounds the possible problem. Generally the rule is FFg for .50 and larger and FFFg for .50 and smaller. Personally I use 2F in most guns but have a couple I use 3F in. My .32 Crockett gets 20gr of FFg. I shoot only FFg in my .31-.44 revolvers. I use FFFg in 1 .54 thst shoots conicals into one big hole at 50yds. Again none of my guns go over 70gr. [/QUOTE]
