Is there any problems with using 3F in .54 or .50with ball or conicals? Are the ignition properties better?Would this apply to 777 ,Pyrodex and BP? I noticed some on these Forums use 3F as opposed to 2F in both calibers.Looking to improve both accuracy and ignition rate.All feedback welcome...........Harold [have experianced hangfires with 2F 777]
As a rule, changing granulations would require a change in the amount of powder used also, IF you want to keep pressures and velocity similar. FFFg would require a charge reduction. Otherwise, there is no problem using FFF instead of FF. But the accuracy of an equivalent load might be quite different between the two. I have a .50, for example, that markedlyprefers FF when it comes to shooting small groups......
