When using my hand cannon (not much of an exaggeration either), a wonderfully accurate and powerful CVA inline Optima V2 .50 caliber pistol, I worry about the risks of accidentally loading Triple Seven FFFG instead of FFG. I carry both to the range for different caliber guns. Would it be an automatic KABOOM if they DID get switched volume for volume? I'm used to the safety of my Ruger Old Army and limited chamber capacity, and yes I DO keep powders separated, read labels twice, and treat them with all the caution I used when administering medications as a nurse. But as we know, things can and do happen sometimes despite our best precautions.
Thoughts? Or is it a "maybe" type answer? I can't find where tests have been published when I try several different search phrases. Thanks as always folks. Don.
