Gentlemen,
I am looking for the weight of propellant charges used in connection of the 305mm L/52 reworked to accept german projectiles and propellant charges and put into service with those on one of the Channel islands. I have failed to find accurate information in my sources and would be grateful if somebody could point me to information.
thanks in advance,
cm
Propellant charges for 30.5cm K14(r) = M1907 anyone?

The following page describes the propellant charge used with the German equivalent of the Russian gun in question.

The charge used with the Russian gun may have been slightly larger (to take advantage of the slightly longer barrel) or somewhat smaller (to reduce barrel wear.)
