I have piettas 1851 navys in 36 cal, and was wondering how much powder and wonder wad plus ball, puts the ball at the desired level in the cylinder. Without using filler. Thanks
 
I use 25 grains and a wad but no filler. Yeah there's a little jump to the forcing cone but its still coke can accurate at 25 yards.
 
For 36cal Navies I have a 15, a 20, and a 25gr spout. Using Pyro-P you could fill the entire chamber and ram a ball down onto it and it would likely clear the chamber mouth. Pyro-P is quite compressible when ramming a ball. . I also cast the LEE 130gr 36cal conical for my Colt & Remington Navies and it give them more oomph.
