RE: weights & measures
 
I plan on weighing my 2ff triple seven loads, just because.

What should I expect it to weigh. I think it should be 84grains on the scale, when I have 120 grains by volume?

can someone confirm this?

RE: weights & measures
 
I use the old CVA brass powder measure, and tap and refill til I can't get any more in it. I throw and weigh 10 charges and take the average.


I go by these standards, andI double check my reference points with each new pound of powder:

100grains By Volume(BV) of Trip7 2Fg = 80grains by Actual Weight(AW), the conversion factor is .80gAW x 100gBV=80g AW

SOoooo...

120gBV x .80gAW = 96gAW :);)








APP/Goex Pinnacle/JSG conversion factor is: .92

.92gAW x 100gBV = 92gAW


That's what works for me:D

I searched the net and found .7 for my conversion factor, which ended up at 85 actual weight for 120. I will add another 5 then to get it closer too your calculations.
