McCandless Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Somehow in trades and such, I ended up with a pound of 1F powder. Can I use it in 12ga shotshells? At our distances, can I keep the same volume or will I need more??
Cowboy Rick, SASS #49739L Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Best place to burn it up. Lots of sparks and flames CR
Snakebite Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 It will work. There might be a lot of fire out the barrel. If I had some 2F or 3F, I would blend them and use it that way. Same load volume wise. Snakebite
Warden Callaway Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 I've been using Grafs "Reenactor". It's probably corser than 1F. Goes BOOM real good.
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 It's my favorite shotgun powder. Puts on a great show! BOOM! --Dawg

Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 May find it won't meter well in modern equipment - if so, scoop it! Good luck, GJ
Warden Callaway Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 Here I am testing my new old New Ithaca 12 gauge hammer gun - made in 1899. The loads are Grafs Reenactor 1 oz shot with less volume of powder. I used fiber wads and roll crimp in plastic hulls. I may go to plastic wads to tighten the pattern. After the initial firing I patterned it and it shot about a 20" pattern at 15 steps.
Preacher Clint Posted May 2, 2016 Posted May 2, 2016 I've been using it in shotshells since a pard gave me a pound to try. Almost no recoil at 4.0 cc of powder with a 4.0 cc of #8 shot and it reliably takes down all knockdowns for me.
Boothill Bandit, SASS# 48598 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 It will work. There might be a lot of fire out the barrel. If I had some 2F or 3F, I would blend them and use it that way. Same load volume wise. Snakebite Oh, like he should listen to you on advice for shotgun loads... I've witnessed first hand (along with many others) when you provided first-class entertainment demonstrating your prowess at loading shotgun shells.
