    I have been thinking that there should be a black powder enthusiasts video call/conference where a bunch of folks could get together and discuss anything black powder but I haven't found any that exist and don't know where to start if I made my own. So I won't make my own, instead perhaps...

    New Oldstock Goex pistol powder

    I went to the gun store and bought some of the Goex FFFG powder they had and it’s an old can from 71. I’m a new shooter and I think I got very lucky with the gunstore we got here in town because they’ve got a lot of cool old stuff (Just today I was looking at a mosin nagant and a krag Jorgensen)...

    What to use for a powder measure?

    I've got a little brass flask for dispensing powder, but what should I use to actually measure it (it's a .54 so I'd say maybe 35 grains of GOEX FFF)? Are there devices for that or should I just get a small tube and start counting. For everyone who was following my old thread about the antique...

    Recommended 777 FFFg loads

    Does anyone have recommended safe 777 FFFg loads for .36 and .44 and Walker revolvers? I know it is hotter than Goex or other propellants or BP. Also I know it differs depending on the projectile. Need info for both round ball and conicals for all 3 calibers.
