I reloaded 28 teabags today wit 14gr of FFFG black powder... to be used as booster charges for my 20mm.

I only bothered to load 28 because I only have 1KG of powder, and that will be eaten up in 28 cartridges.

 

[diopter]

14 grains or 14 grams per teabag?
14grams x 15.4324(grains in 1 gram) x 28 teabags = 6049.5 grains with 1lb = to 7000grs

 

[Kevin M.]

It's a duplex load. 14 grains of black powder as a booster charge to ignite 550 grains of 20n29 50BMG powder.

Pushing a 1600 grain projo.

Ok walk me through this...

My understanding (IE, I may be incorrect on some details) is that due to he extremely long barrel length of 7'11" long, the powder used is extremely slow burning. Using only the slow burning smokeless powder charge alone may result in incomplete or inconsistent powder conflagration, which at best results in lag time, but at worst could potentially result in a pressure spike, which in a gun producing close to 35,000 foot pounds of energy at the muzzle, is undesirable.

To ensure an even burn of the powder, a small charge of fast burning black powder is contained just over the primer in a teabag to assist in even and complete conflagration of the main powder charge.

First rounds of 20mm are hot off the press! Had to build my own seating die today, but it works perfectly!

 

[Ecco]

My first time reloading, so I was slow and methodical. I made a batch of .45 ACP : 4.5 grains of Hogdon Titegroup pushing Hornady 230 grains FMJ RP bullets.
