So just so I'm sure the powder is weighed but the shot is by volume. The same volume of shot for the BP?

I can't wait.
You can weigh it on a scale then check it with a black powder measure, then use the same amount of shot, yes.
The measures are very close.
There are also charts for number of drams of black powder .
For anyone using the rocky mountain cases, be aware that you have to tell will this, because MAG TECH cases use a larger diameter wad , the RMC cases use the same fibre wads as modern shot shells.
