Was given this powder by a revolutionary war reenactor friend. I thought it was triple F but can’t tell. I shot, COLT ARMY 1860, for the first time today with 24 grains, lubed patch, and then proper size .44 caliber ball that seated with a nice thin lead ring. When I shot it felt extremely underpowered and sounded like a Roman candle. Ball had very little velocity. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Solved: Thanks, Y’all! I appreciate you guys taking the time to comment and help out.
