Hi guys. Been looking at reloading for some black powder revolvers. What’s your take on granulation size. FFG or FFFG in a cartridge black powder design revolver?

Online the goex even states FFG is-“Goex FFg (or 2Fg) is suited for Muskets, Shotgun, Rifles (50-caliber and larger), Black Powder Cartridges, and large-bore Pistols.”

But the FFFG states -“Goex FFFg (or 3Fg) is suited for Rifles (50-caliber and smaller), Pistols and Revolvers.”
My question is the ones I want to load for are brass cartridge black powder revolvers but they are under the 50 cal but they don’t specify in the FFFG for cartridge black powder revolvers. Which to go with? This is all new to me so I’m trying to be diligent in not blowing a hand off or something. lol
 
Either will work fine.
The fffg will burn a little faster and cleaner but in most cases it's difficult to tell the difference. In a smaller volume case I'd prefer fffg for a little more velocity. In something like 455 Webley or 44-40 I might reach for the ffg instead.

What gun are you loading for?

Use a lube meant for black powder. Dragonlube, SPG, bees wax and crisco etc.
