Since some of the forum members have suggested I try Holy Black in my 40-65. I figured, why not? But then my ignorance of how it should be done popped up. First I don't have a BP powder measure. Second, is 65 grains weighed or volume measure. Third, there isn't any money available at the moment but I really want to load some cartridges so how can I do it with what I have? I realize that a lot of shells should use a drop tube; do I need one? HELP me, PLEASE !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
