I have a good friend who shoots black powder cartridge and he actually prefers using FFFG over FFG. He gets slightly increased velocity and uses less powder while still keeping an accurate load. Now.. with that said, all of his shooting is done in straight or very near straight walled cases. I'm am not sure how black powder will respond in a bottle neck cases. It's new territory for me and if it works I would be interested in hearing the results.

the link works just fine.
a bottle necked case will increase pressure over a straight walled case.
no big deal.
i'm sure the rifle will handle the whole 20-k.
