It is what we are certain of—that turns out to I be wrong—that gets us in trouble. ~ Mark Twain. So it is, with some strongly held beliefs concerning the world of guns and shooting. Nowhere in our study of express rifle ballistics does this apply more certainly than the question of the correct way to load a reduced charge of smokeless powder in a black powder cartridge case. With the exception of Trail Boss powder, which we have discussed previously in the Autumn 2008 issue of the Double Gun Journal, when we load nitro-for-black in a voluminous black powder case, we must use some method to hold the powder charge in position against the primer. Mention any given method and you will hear opinions both pro and con. While opinions are in overwhelming abundance and predictions of disaster are fairly numerous, actual reports of rifle damage are, thankfully, much rarer. However, persistent reports do exist and must be considered. To study the behavior of the various types of filler material in nitro-for-black (NFB) loadings, we again turn to a test rifle that is chambered for the .450, 3-1/4" black powder express cartridge (BPE). This rifle has a strain-gage mounted on the barrel at one inch from the breech face.
