That was my point.
The granulations are different. So the volumns will be different also.

I weighed my 30 Grain volumn measure of Elephant 2FG and it did weigh in at 27.5 grns. on the scale. Less than the 30 on the powder measure.

I'm know a grain of smokeless and a grain of BP is exactly the same weight. NOT the same volumn.

I also weighed BP to shoot single shot BP rifles.
