    Where to buy black powder Toledo,Ohio area

    sorry about the confusion. Clelands told me they didn't have black powder the last time I was there. At the same time I called Cabela's and got the same answer. Today I called Clelands again. The lady said they do carry black powder. I'll go there this week and find out for sure.

    Pietta 44 1858 powder charge

    Purchased from cabelas. The Pietta manual says use 12-15 grains 3f. The Cabelas manual says 35 grains of black powder. The Traditions manual says 22-30 grains 3f. I believe the Pietta manual must be in grains weight and the other two in grains volume. This is a Pietta 1858 44 steel frame...
