    so 1 grn of powder = ABOUT a 4% difference...if you using a 25grn load for ease of calculation.....
    also for ease of calculation 3000fps velocity x 4% =120fps
    which under 250ish yards wont matter a hoot lol.
    and if we keep with the 4% figure for arguements sake..as long as we arent hot rodding our loads up past a 95% till too hot in smallest case.... all is good in the hood.
    75/15/10 black powder matters

    Greetings, @Micky Duck,
    I grain of powder was the difference between Federal and Winchester with an additional grain for the Continental brass. Will do some chronographing over the next week or two and report.
