Roughly 40 grains, but it will vary depending on round ball or elongated bullet. We would urge you to contact the manufacturer for an owner's manual for your revolver. Many makers have manuals available on line, or free for the asking from their customer service department.

You need to consult a Black Powder loading manual
Are Pistols more powerful or revolver?
It all depends on the length of the barrel, the caliber, and how much blackpowder you pour down the barrel. A pistol, which is a single shot muzzleloading handgun was around .50 cal and loading 40 grains of blackpowder and a patched round ball shoots at around 750 fps. A revolver, such as the .44 cal Colts and the .44 cal 1858 Remingtons used during the Civil War loaded around 35 grains of blackpowder with a slightly oversized ball, around .451 or .454, can spit those balls at around 800+ fps. The 1847 Colt Walker was a .44 cal open top revolver, but on a much bigger frame. The gun loaded weighed a good five pounds, and it had a larger and long cylinder which held more powder, and could spit roundballs at over 1200 fps. The black powder Colt Walker is regarded as the most powerful commercially manufactured repeating handgun from 1847 until the introduction of the .357 Magnum in 1935, and has a muzzle energy nearly exactly the same as a 4-inch-barreled handgun firing a .357 Magnum.

What does the 30 30 mean in ammunition?
.30 caliber bullet, 30 grains of blackpowder when it was originally made. Smokeless powder is now used. Actually the 30-30 began life as the 30 WCF (Winchester Center Fire) aka 30 Winchester Smokeless or 30 SMOKELESS. The second 30 refers to 30 grains of smokeless powder. (30 grains of black powder would have been a pretty whimpy load)

Depends upon length of revolver barrel, smooth bore or grooved bore, caliber of bullet, grains of powder propelling bullet, weight of grains in bullet, into wind shot or against wind shot, cross wind shot.

Butler mfg inc black powder hand gun need powder load size?
I would need to know the caliber and type (revolver, single shot. flintlock, percussion) to answer the question exactly, but the best place to start is with as many grains of powder as the caliber divided by half for a hand gun or revolver as a MAXIMUM LOAD. So a .45 cal. would be about 20-23 grain. I usually start out around 12-15 grains and work from there.

Where can you find Remington 25-10 ammunition?
Try Old Western Scrounger at 1-304-262-9870. The ammunition itself was discontinued in 1942 and is more commonly called the 25 Steven. It was also known as the 25-10 because it was a 25 caliber 67 grain bullet loaded with 10 grains of blackpowder. It was soon obsoleted with the introduction of the 22 magnum which was cheaper and more powerful. If Scrounger can't help then I guess your only option would be to find a antique ammunition dealer maybe at a gun show. Hope this helps....Steve
