Black Powder Boys
I'm thinking of loading BP in my 45-70 cases for use in my 1874 Sharps. I know to use a drop tube and i made a nice one. I'm going to use 500 gr bullets and know the seating depth. However I measured out 70 gr of FFFg by volume and when trickled down the drop tube it fills the case to a point higher than how far my bullet goes in. And with a veggie wad under the bullet the powder may be compressed too much if that's possible. I might not even be able to seat the bullet far enough.
