Hi all,
I plan in starting Trials for my Black Powder again with lab grade KNO3 and activated Carbon for charcoal.
Now I am loading it (if it works) into my 38 spl and 357 Magnum cases. 357 mag seems to have about 27 grains of water capacity. 223 rem seems to have 31 grain water capacity and 243 win and 308 win has about 54 grains of water capacity. 30-30 Win has about 45 grains of water capacity (30 grains should be normal as states as well the Name of the caliber).
Which one will lend itself best for use with Black Powder (considered normal weigth bullets for each caliber)? I am Living in Southamerica and can not buy any powder for reloading.
I would think the biggest case volume is best for Black Powder. Is that rigth? Can I fill any of them rigth full with Black Powder wihtout blowing up the gun?
223, 30-30 has the best gun I am interested in (future gun buy for use with Balck Powder and reloading) but have small case capacities.
Which velocities do you guys get with Maximum Charge of Black Powder in each above or similar calibers?
