If you go the loose powder route please understand that when members suggest something like 90 or 100 grains of 2f, they are talking about 90 TO 100 GRAINS BY VOLUME - NOT BY WEIGHT. If you're new to muzzleloading and you don't understand the difference READ YOUR MANUAL UNTIL YOU HAVE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF VOLUME VS. WEIGHT.

Loading a blackpowder substitute by weight will greatly increase the charge and can cause damage to you and your rifle.
