Thank you for pointing out my error,so lets clear that point up. Yes black powder and substitutes are measured by volume.So I scooted outside on a nice warm day here and took a pic. Notice that the measure is locked in at 100 grains. This is 100 grains of B/P by volume as it being a cylinder shaped object and NOT 100 grains on a scale. Good point you made and thank you for catching my error..
