I edited out my attempt at a table, check out the one Semisane put in as it's the one I was trying to post.

The chart doesn't have BH209 but it weighs less than or similar to 777 2F, I don't have the exact figure at my finger tips but think it's around 70 grains by weight per 100 grains by volume, so weighing several volume charges as stated earlier is your best bet to find the safe weight to base your loads on.

Good luck and be safe.

Sorry about the way that table looks, what is it about this forum and tables of information, I can't seem to get it to post it the way it looks when I create it. What a pain.

I had scanned the original into a jpeg file.

Thanks for fixing that for me Semi. I guess I need to print one out and scan it so I don't have to go through that again.

Just right click on the one I posted, and select "save picture as". It's a jpeg file already, so you can save it into your picture files.

These are the numbers I got using the TC see-thru measure and a digital grain scale with BH.
90 gr by vol = 61.5 gr by weight
100 gr by vol = 67.5 gr by weight
110 gr by vol = 76 gr by weight.
Took an average of 7 for ea.

Do these #'s look close?

I use to weigh my charges, but stopped that a long time ago. I could never tell the difference in accuracy between weighing vs volume, so why spend the time doing it.
