    I need a Favor: Black Powder - WEIGHT in grains v. volume

    Also posted in the reloading section...it maybe this get more eyeballs here:

    Yes, I know using volumetric grains (is that even defined?) is what has "always" been used, but since mine will not arrive for another week or so...and because I come from a long history of reloading smokeless powder, I would like some real world, hands-on information/data (NOT some "formula" found on the web). My request may "go against the grain", or seem downright blasphemous, but if someone can help out, I'd appreciate it.

    Here's my request - IF you have Pyrodex P and/or Goex FFFg (new manufacture if possible...not sure if it differs from older lots) powder, and you have an accurate powder scale, would you please use your traditional volumetric powder measure to dump 15g, 20g, and 25g volumes respectively of Pyrodex P and/or Goex FFFg onto your scale and let me know the weights of each in grains? So if you have both powders, I'm looking for six data points.

    Thank you!
