Hmm, Btw Drew really just kidding on show me state. I think Missouri is cool. Especially some of the Indian artifacts that come out that place. Very cool. Maybe your time in the field you have found some cool arrowheads yourself.

Okay my conversion does not distinguish between the substance whether it is black powder or smokeless powder. It is 1 dram of something is equal to 27 thereabout grains of something. Now if there is a contingency that says this shell uses smokeless powder that is equivalent to x drams of black powder please let me know what that conversion is. Otherwise a dram of something is still just 27 grains of something.

Just went and found a box of shells. It says 2 1/2 dr. eq. I stand corrected. So in these off the shelf loads how do you know how much grains of powder do they actually use or how many grains. What your saying is that when using smokeless powder you can get by by using 80% less than black powder. Is that about right. I think your calculator just said use 18 grains as an average. Which I guess backs up what you were saying.

My head hurts. This is all as confusing as the tax code and Chinese stereo instructions.
