    Gns of powder for .36 cal

    I forgot to ask at the nationals this question about my 36 cal revolver. I have been shooting a conical bullet with mixed results. I am switching over to a round ball. I have Hornady 80grain . What would be a good load for target? Thanks for any help.

    10grs should be sufficient.

    I use 16gn FFFg in my Remington Navy 36. Quite accurate at the that load.. unfortunately the user is not quite so consistant.

    My wife shoots 11 grains of FFg GOEX in hers. I'll put six in the size of a quarter (if someone else is shooting it). Hooboy...
