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.

Which powder do you use in 44 cal black powder pistol?

For a 44 cal pistol (not revolver) between 20 and 30 grains of 3F black powder or black powder substitute (like pyrodex or goex pinical) should do the trick. You will have to adjust the load to do what you want and to shoot the distance you want, but that should get you started. The above answer is stupid. Since most black powder pistols ARE revolvers. Fill the cylinder half full or a little more, if you do not want to play around with a grain counter,waste of time.

How do you load a black powder gun?

To load a black powder gun, first, ensure the firearm is pointed in a safe direction and the hammer is at half-cock. Measure the appropriate amount of black powder using a powder measure and pour it into the barrel. Next, insert a pre-measured projectile (such as a lead ball or bullet) followed by a wadding, if necessary, to keep the projectile in place. Finally, use a ramrod to seat the projectile firmly against the powder, and then prime the pan or add a percussion cap, depending on the type of black powder gun.
