Hi, I would like to load some black powder cartridges for a 12G that was originally proofed for black powder but is now also nitro proofed as i don't have a black powder license is it possible to load cartridges with pyrodex RS? I have some basic equipment to seat primers and make a crimp, but i don't know how many grains of pyrodex i should put in a cartridge ( if i should be doing it at all. ) Has anybody tried this? I use pyrodex in a 54cal smooth bore muzzle loader and use about 70 grains for a shotgun load which seems to work ok, but i don't know where to start grain wise for a 12G load with. I have old books that say 3 - 3 1/2 drams, which is around 80-90 grains? which seems a bit much? but thought i would ask the experts first.
