Did some weighing and measuring.

I wanted to start with 45gr Pyro P.

A Lee 3.4cc dipper throws 40gr
a Lee .5cc throws 5gr

So a volume throw of one of each gives me my 45gr Pyro P starting load.
Which by the chart would be equal to 55gr BP ?

Will give that a whirl this weekend, unless someone stops me

I wish someone here could throw a 60gr volume charge of Pyro P and tell me how much it weighs...

Riddle me this.
If a Walker cylinder can hold 60gr of BP and I just filled a cylinder with Pyro P that weighs 48gr. then I have a base line for volume ?

I know, I am a picky SOB
