Pyrodex RS (FF equivalent) in a revolver

[Smokerr]

Interesting. What was the measure and or the weight of the loads you used?

My notes show 32 measured at about 22 gr weight and velocity of 600 fps. Delayed ignition.

Just using the spout on the flask its supposed to be 30gr. but throws 28gr.

RS and P are interchangeable it does work in a Pistol/Revolver and P works in a rifle, THERE IS A DIFFERENCE that is the accuracy RS in a Revolver accuracy suffers unless your competition shooting it is not that noticeable groups open some. Now that is total opposite for P in a rifle groups get a little tighter Idahoan Show on you tube pit Pyrodex against Pyrodex Select, RS and P against one another gives velocity and spread as well as 10 shot group I suggest checking it out

Interesting, my loads clearly not up there. I might play with that further. I assume then you are not settling the RS?

Good to cross check the measures as what standard is used by who clearly is different. I am using a small brass tube and feeding that out of my bulk powder in the container or one I have transferred it into (still working on what suits me)

Nope just tip and pour I use home mad caps that are hotter than cci mags that may be helping some.
