I've been debating the idea of conversion cylinders for a very long time. I just have trouble justifying spending as much on a cylinder as I did for the 1858. The reason I'm considering a conversion cylinder is I don't like having to clean the black powder out immediately after shooting it.
But instead of using a conversion cylinder can I just use a lesser amount of smokeless powder and load as normal? If this is possible, how much smokeless powder do I use?
I assume I would have to use less than you would with BP. How many grains is the smokeless equivelant for 30 grains of FFF? What kind of smokeless powder do they load in the cowboy loads for the conversion cylinders? Any thoughts? Sorry if I asked too many questions. I appreciate your time.
