This segment from Gun Talk Radio discusses the ongoing shortage of gunpowder and reloading components. Aaron from Hodgdon Powder explains that while production has increased significantly, demand is several times higher, making it difficult to find supplies. He emphasizes that consumers should be flexible with powder choices and utilize available load data, as multiple powders can often work for a given caliber. The discussion also touches on the high demand for muzzleloader propellants, particularly Blackhorn 209, and the challenges in its production.

Dustin Weeger tests Triple Seven powder loads in an 1851 Colt Navy revolver at 45 feet. He evaluates 15, 18, and 21-grain loads for accuracy and velocity. The 18-grain load demonstrated the best balance of accuracy and consistency, with an average velocity of 839 ft/s and a group size of approximately 2 inches. The 15-grain load was also consistent but less accurate, while the 21-grain load showed poor consistency and accuracy, suggesting it's an overcharge.
