I recently got a free partial container of Clean Shot fffg black powder substitute from a friend, along with a cheap muzzleloader rifle and some percussion caps.
Anyways, I thought about loading up some .38 specials and/or .357mags with the stuff, just for ****s and giggles...
Problem is, the majority of the powder is clumped up.
Provided I break the powder up, does anyone see this being a problem?
Also, I've read that one should just fill up the cartridge (38 at least) so that it's slightly compressed when the bullet is seated. Any thoughts on that? I just wanna be sure I'm not going to be producing dangerous pressures...
