Grizz1219 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I've started weighing the charges of Blackhorn 209 instead of volume charging.... Anyone else doing this?? For the life of me off the top of my head I can't think of the weight but used 110 grain volume charge to start it... then just loaded up a bunch of speed loaders with it... Very consistent I've found... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I weigh also. I use 70 grains by weight which equals 100 by volume. Works well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT6246 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 110 gr. by volume is supposed to equal 77 grains by weight. However, that (110gr) volume didn't work out quite to 77 grains by weight with my (volumetric) measure vs. my scale. I just used 77 gr. on my scale to keep things consistent. This amount shot well in my T/C Triumph with Barnes bullets and Harvester sabots but I still had to swab between shots for best accuracy.

Grizz1219 Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 What are you swabbing with??? Dry patch or Hoppes??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNT6246 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I've asked the same question on another posting band did get a very good response. At the range, I used a patch lightly lubed with Hoppes #9 followed by one dry patch. Haven't had to worry about cleaning between shots yet in the field. I haven't seen any deer!
