I used 15 grains of fffg American pioneer powder in a .36 naval revolver, and at point blank range only 3 out of 5 shots even managed to penetrate a 3/4 inch wood board! (don't know what type)! There was also no recoil, I know black powder creates lower preasures and all, but there was NOTHING! I think with that charge this weapon is supposed to penetrate 4 inches of wood, any ideas as to why it didn't even reliably penetrate 3/4 inches of wood? thanks!
