Powder measure for .36

Post by Sonny »

So I'm going to take JYD's advice and drop my powder down to 25gr from 30gr for my Pietta .44 but..

There's a good chance that I'll be getting a .36 cal in a steel frame later on this year.So since I have to order my stuff online (no local shops) I might as well order both screw on powder measures at the same time.

So what should I get for a .36 a 15gr or 20gr?

I've watched videos where they only used 15 gr but that kinda looked like a wimpy load.. :vconfused: :vconfused:

20 is a target load for 36 At 15 you might need filler.
"Igitur qui desiderat pacem, praeparet bellum." -Publius Flavius Vegetius Renatus

Murphy was an optimist.

invasion, butcher a hog, design a building, conn a ship, write a
sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the
dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve an
equation, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a
computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

20's good, get the 15 anyway in case you get a .31 some day.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
