ive got a 36 navy and im anxious to shoot soon. i dont have balls yet but i think i want hornady 375's. i know the 380s are tighter but im not crazy about the cast balls + i dont know what the gun is going to like. the 375s are cheap enough to start with i guess? im going to use wonderwads over powder with no grease over ball. pinched 11 caps too. whats a typical grain charge with pyrodex with 375's?

.36 Navy - anywhere from 18 -22 grs black powder, which is hard to measure that exactly, so figure around 20gr to start, and work up or down from there.
