Powder spec. of g/cc to VMD.


"Big Boston"

Recommended Posts

The other day I was reading Handloader 313 and it had an article on Alliant Sport Pistol. Interestingly it had this to say about it.

 

"A medium dark gray in color, the powder has a bulk density of .680 g/cc, giving it a case-filling attribute when used in small-capacity pistol cartridges."

 

I'm more accustomed to looking at LEE's VMD chart to see comparisons in density.

 

To convert g/cc (grams per cc) to VMD the formula would be 1cc/(gramsx15.4324) or for Sport Pistol it would be 0.095292.

 

1 gram is 15.4324 grains.

 

A quick look at the LEE chart and it is about the same density as SR4759, fairly bulky IMO.

 

I thought I'd share, thanks.
