I just noticed something while looking around my ML suppies, the only powder I have is FFF. Can I shoot FFF in a .50? Or do I need to get FF?

I've shot FFF in my .54 Should be no problem with it as long as you use less. I'm not sure what a conversion factor would be though. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable would be able to advise you better.

If it helps my ML is a magnum, capable of 150g of FF. What would be a safe, yet still deadly amount of powder to use? I need to know ASAP as the season opens tomorrow. I know I should have thought more about what I need, so no one has to get on my case about that.
