I don't know how FG would work in cartridges but it should be ok with some sparks. FFFG will work in everything but has a bit more kick to it. 5lbs/order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 He He He, Jailhouse, FG works a treat for Shotgun. Lotta BOOMBA, Lotta Smoke, not a lotta recoil. Gun Stuff to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno about 4F, but I've shot lots of 1,2 and 3F in shotgun. (Mostly the 3F loads were because I had a lot more of that powder - but honetly I couldn't tell the difference while shooting) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 20grs different on bullets. 45 Colt is FFFg as well. I think I'll load some with Cannon and try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Boy Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 Folks, realize this … every grade of black powder is the same powder except for the mesh sizes dropped and packaged in the screening process. The only difference with the heaviest is the small grains ignite faster than the large grains. Accordingly, loading data uses smaller grains for smaller calibers volume capacity but with a larger volume capacity case …. More smaller grains will generate a higher velocity and maintain a higher velocity when shot at long ranges to keep the trajectories higher. Examples: 70 grs charge in a 50-70 using FFFg verses Fg, the muzzle velocity will be in the 200 FPS faster out to 1000yds. In a 22lr case, 4.5grs of 60 mesh Swiss Null-B generates a 1320 FPS muzzle velocity but same charge of 30 mesh FFFg is about 1000 FPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
