clear and concise with one very important error that you described twice. guys who know already know, but since this is aimed at noobs, it is VERY important to understand that BP and its substitutes are measured VOLUMETRICALLY, and NOT by weight. the powder measure meters a volume of powder. the term grains may confuse some, but please do not weigh a charge on a scale thinking it will work out fine. a volume measure must be used. carry on.....
