Ok you all know i have 4 black powder revolvers. I recently picked up a R&D conversion Cylinder for my Uberti Walker. SO After then forking out almost 40.00 for 50 bullets. YA only ones i could find. Thats going to stop.
So here is the question.
1. When loading black powder cartridge do you measure the overall length first then put in enough powder so that when you press in the bullet that it meets the powder at that correct length.
2. If i am going to be loading for 45 Colt would i be using Goex 2F.
I have done a lot of smokeless reloads but never black powder. From what i understand you are not supposed to have a gap between the powder and the bullet. Is this correct. In reading the pamphlet that came with the Cylinder. Says to load no more than 34 grains of black powder FPG. What the heck is FPG. So there you have it. Now tell me what i need to know about BPCR. i have the necessary dies, press, heck primers no problem. But whats the diff.
