FFg for both pistol and rifle?

I use FFF in every gun that I have. Shooting 240 gr 44 in a sabot in 50 cal the FF and FFF. The FF 100 gr will shoot the same with 80 gr of FFF At 150 yards. So I use the FFF.

Sure, why not. won't hurt anything..... you could use fffg in both too & it wouldn't hurt; just give different performance characteristics.

I have a pair of Uberti 1861 Navies that will shoot one hole groups - 22 gr fffg, wad & .380 rb. Have cut 5 cards with 5 shots with them as well.
 
from what I see with my guns with FF you can load the gun where you dont need to do a breakfeast dance with some sort of cream of wheat. A lot of people use FFF and load like its rocket sience on getting the ball moved to the front of the cylinder while just using FF cures that issue.
 
Haha, I had a good giggle at that, radom. I never understood the guys who stuff cornmeal, cream of wheat, n such into their C&B guns. Guns eat gunpowder, not people food! :D
 
Hey now, I like cream of wheat as the wad under the ball :) . Then I don't have to bother with grease on the front.

What? :confused: How does cream of wheat provide the lubrication that a wonder wad or grease provides?

all wrong for almost 100 years. I know I was.
