I in the case of the Traditions a charge of 150 grs of Triple 7 was
used in a brand new rifle. No charge weights were cited for the
CVA's or their age or condition. I'm very new to black powder, but
I've been a smokless powder cartride hand loader for some time.
Chamber pressures in cartrige arms are influenced by the charge
weight as well as the projectile weight. Not sure that applies to
black powder or not since most charges are determined by volume.
Also I'm having a hard time locating load and pressure data. I've
heard the Lyman's black powder manual is good. Any one ever read it?
