Just got a new Pietta 1851 Brass Navy revolver. I read somewhere that you should only USe 25 grains of pyrodex with this gun. So if this is true it would be a no no to use the 30 grain Hodgdon Pyrodex pellets, right?

I use 15 or 20 for plinking loads and 35, (rarely), for heavy duty work, No reason really to go over your 25 grains, you won't notice the difference on your target.
