What black powder grain should i use for deer and other game?

Fg = Coursest powder- muskets w/ lg bore.


FFg = @nd Coursest- shotguns, rifles and pistols-,45cal. and up.


FFFg= Fine powder - .36 to .45 cal pistols/ rifles


FFFFg= very fine -used as primer in flashpan.





You will likely want FFg- I have used Pyrodex RS and Triple 7 in my .50 cal smoke pole.


The amount varies to much to say without more information.


Follow whatever manual you have w/ the firearm first and foremost. If you don't have one contact the manufacturer. They will send you a copy if they are still in business.What black powder grain should i use for deer and other game?
That will depend on the caliber and the bullet weight. It could range anywhere from 60 grains to as much as 150 grains. Look at the owner's manual that came with your gun. It will have all of the loading data for your rifle in it. If you do not have the owner's manual, you can get a copy from the manufacturer of your rifle.

I use 100 grains of powder. You could probably be satisfied w/ 80 grains, but be sure you sight in based on whatever you decide.





Pyrodex makes premeasured pellets at 50 grains each. Use two.
