I'm considering loading some black powder cartridges ( actually several ) this is pretty new to me, I'm highly experienced loading smokeless... as the title says... anything better or worse than others???
cup hardness or brisance matter... small primers equal to large, magnum primers better or worse for any reason ???
cartridges I'm considering range in size from 38 Short Colt, to 45 Black powder Magnum ( which uses 460 S&W cases ) with a few in between... so large & small primers...
does the granulation of the powder make a difference on the primer used???
would a coarser powder, still packed in tight offer a lower velocity, lower pressure load, or is one better off in cartridges, using the finest grinds of powder ???
thanks for any info...
any with experience want to chime in ???
