Of course Sharps was referring to their breechloaders, I just use the quote as a counterargument to the "grains volume" nonsense on the internet.
Obatex specifically recommends STARTING with half the usual Other Brand charge weight in muzzleloaders and adjusting to give desired performance. No reason you could not recalibrate your volume measure once you have gotten back where you started.
Bear in mind that this is in a country way off the usual trade routes and frequently embargoed for political philosophy. Domestic manufacture is a great advantage and just duplicating the old stuff was of no great importance.
