My everyday load is 30 grains of 3F and 40 grains for the hunting woods.

I use a .45 ACP cartridge full which I believe comes in around 25 grains.

Yup. The .45 ACP shell casing gives around 25 grains of black powder.

Here's a link to it and other cartridge cases that can be used to measure out black powder loads:
