I just started to get into black powder guns. I purchased an Uberti 1851 Navy .36 caliber revolver. I need to load it correctly and don’t want to blow myself up. Uberti recommends a 15 grain load. How to measure powder is confusing. This grain vs volume, etc., is so puzzling. The powder I have is Hodgdon Triple 7. I have a revolver powder measure. Do I just load the Triple 7 into the powder measure to 15 grains and drop into chamber, drop in a lubed wad, the bullet and I’m set? The confusion, is they say 15 grains, but of what?, BP substitutes like Triple 7, or Pyrodex-P or is it just for black powder like Goex? Videos just show dropping the black powder from the flask either to the chamber or to the powder measure, then to the chamber. No reference to powder type.
