O.K., my post to the previous topic got me thinking of a great experiment for forum participants.
1) Take your favorite caliber ball and place it in your cupped palm. 2)Pour over enough black powder to cover the ball. 3) measure that amount of powder and record your findings. 4) Perform steps 1-3 five times. 5) Report the range in measurements you obtain for your caliber ball in response to this post. (i.e. 50-75 grains, .50 cal.)
I think it will be interesting to see how this stands up to typical recommended loads. The data could maybe be turned into a chart to put on the links page.
