How many grains of FFFG, Buddy?

I’ve never shot real black powder in anything besides for my .54 caliber T/C Hawken.


Load books out in the shop buddy, IIRC around 45 grains, dont think a man can get enough black in to cause pressure problems, it a fu-kin' hoot! accurate doesn't lead the bore, plus, that bullet cast with 12 to 1 alloy hit her in the forehead, exited between her tits n front of hams, didn't measure, but had to be near 2.5 feet of penetration, still trying to wrap my head around that one, pic on the way to your cell.


Got it Buddy! Great shot! Thanks!
