    clarified powder

    I'm using a Cast Bullet Engineering 509 -325.
    I have used 1 1/2 FG Holy smoke (cartridge), but velocity was lower than expected at about 1600fps. First time with 2fg.

    HS is the best powder I have used so far - burns cleaner than Swiss or the Curtis's and Harvey No6.

    hopefully the 2fg cartridge will shoot well too.

    Mine is a Westley Richards 1871 retailed by John Dickson & Son, Edinburgh.

    This load kicks - don't shoot it prone!
