    Nothing to be sorry about. When dealing with conflagrating gunpowder in a small, enclosed space, it's always better to safe.

    Another way - 1gr is 1/7000 of a pound. 1gm is 1/454 of a pound. 1gm of a powder will equal 15.4gr of the same powder (and take up 15.4x the volume).

    Grains. Always grains. Quite frankly, you'd know if your units were off because the case couldn't hold the charge. 50gm of powder takes up way more volume than 50gr.

    On 460, you'll want to load to a cannelure. Otherwise, recoil can knock the projectile loose. I run into the same thing with my 454.

    Shallower. Going deeper can increase the pressure beyond what is safe.

    That's what I figured. Even the T/C loads dont really approach 454 pressures.

    Should the load be compressed? Seems I had read that you don't really want extra space when using BP.

    Same here. I'm one of 3 guys at my church that do security. Sad that we need it. We had a guy rush one of our deacons trying to steal the offering one Sunday.
