Does anyone know if I can use my regular reloading scale to measure 777 or any other black powder substitute? Is that stuff measured by weight or volume? I have noticed that a 50g pellet of 777 is smaller than a 50g pellet of Pyrodex making me think that you cant go by weight on a scale.
If not, couldnt I just weigh a 50 "grain" pellet, and use whatever that number is for the loose powder equivelent?
I've always used pellets and never used loose powder, but it seems I could get a whole lot more shooting in for less money with loose powder. Of course I could just buy a powder measure but I'm trying to save some $$ here while experimenting with loose powder and the scale seems more accurate.
