New to BP: AMS Derringer questions

NCLivingBrit · January 28, 2015, 04:55 PM

I have just started putting items together for black powder shooting and I am having trouble locating information on one of the guns I have, an AMS .31 Derringer which is I believe made by Pietta. I haven't been able to find a manual online for it and it alas did not come with one.

Does anyone have experience with these little guns and does anyone have load data for it?

This chart suggests 8-15 grs of FFF for a 45 gr ball

I'd use Triple 7 and cut that load by 10%
