I recently met a truck driver on one of my construction sites and the conversation turned to guns. He told me that he used to have a cap and ball revolver and said it shot pretty good with the fine grained powder but he tried some of the coarse grained powder and blew it up. I thought that was strange since I had shot plenty of full cylinder loads out of my black powder revolvers and never had a problem. I said that normally the fine grained flintlock powder might be a heavy load, but the FFG would probably just blow it out the barrel. Then he told me that it was Winchester ball powder!!! Figured it was for Cap and "Ball".
