OP BallisticBRYAN Campfire Member Joined: Feb 2024 Posts: 118	I have a 45 caliber brass barrel derringer and intend to load .440" patched round ball in it. I have REAL black powder, 3F and 4F to use. I'm not new to muzzle-loading, just new to this brass barrel derringer Can anyone recommend a charge for it? 9grs of 4F?
