    Thank you, Ed. This was the answer I was looking for. It makes sense now... I was assuming the powder cups were volume approximates and not weight.

    I"m not sure about that, but I know it's kind of hard to come by 4F around where I'm at. I don't think the owner's manual mentions anything about 4F either.

    OK, I think I understand... so are the lee powder cups actually measuring by weight equivalents? Is that these are not equal? My understanding was volume should be equal on the BP and Pyrodex.

    I'm brand new to muzzleloading, and came across an old thompson center hawken .45 rifle. I wanted to try it out, so I bought .440 round balls, lubed patches (0.01) and some pyrodex FFG rifle powder. My question is in terms of measuring the load, and I apologize if this is a dumb question, but...
