Black powder is hygroscopic and will readily suck moisture from the air making for radical variations in mass. The components themselves will also cause radical variations in mass from lot to lot. Because the mass is highly variable, black powder should only be measured by VOLUME (exceptions made for very experienced persons primarily in the realm of BPCR)
