4F powder in revolvers

[SHARPS4953]

I made the mistake of buying 4 cans of goex 4f powder a few years ago, yes I have tons of flinters but a pound can last years. Anyway I just acquired a Uberti Rem Navy 36 cal. I tried 10 grns of the 4F and got great groups from the bench, 3 to 4 inches at 25 yards. Does anyone use 4F in their revolvers for competition? any issues or drawbacks?

I shoot 13 grains of 4f goes in my Uberti. No issues noticed.

Do y'all deep seat the ball or use some filler over the powder? Grease over the ball or a wad?

Cream of Wheat filler. Grease over the ball is required by rule.

I’ve experimented with it. Works OK, but you have to watch for powder dribbling out of the nipples.

I use powder, cream of wheat (COW) ball then grease or wax. the only time I leave out the COW is when I shoot conical s
