Any data available on loading commonly available .35 caliber cartridges with black?
Like what cartridge? I shoot my 357 mag and max rifles with black a lot. Oh, and 38 specials too.
I think you could shoot a 357 max with BP in a bpcr match and call it a 35/30 maynard or 38 ballard x long and no one would argue the cal. Most data on .35 would be found on the net.
Who needs data? Fill it up and seat the boolit. Maybe add a grease wad.

Agree with uscra112 about fill it with 1.5F to 3F and add a .030 wad. Hard part is finding good bullets to fit your gun, may need from .358 to .360 dia and length to match your twist. I shoot a 330gr postell but have a 1/10 twist. there is a mould buy in progress for a copy of the lyman 358009.
Kokomo,
What cartridge do you shoot that 330 grain .35 caliber boolit with?
I've got a .35 Whelen with a 14" twist and a 280 grain paper-patched boolit I may try launching with BP. It'd be a .35-65 Whelen.
I shoot it in a 35/40 maynard chamber ( 38/55 fire formed brass ) Have a 10:1 twist krieger bbl on a rolling block about 11# gun and with 46-48 gr 1.5 swiss.
