                  What I know of charges by Yaeger2005-05-05 10:46:21
                    Its a bit more complicated than that Yaeger. by Sieldan 2005-05-05 11:11:06
This is what I actually did when I was in. I know them boys, and have shot with them before.

Anywho on to the tech.
Powder comes in 3 flavors, Redbag, Whitebag, and Greenbag.
Red is the most powerful, followed by White, then Green.
A charge is made up of 8 segments. So you have a choice of a little less than 24 powder combos. It is extremely rare to use a single segment IE: 1Greenbag, 1Whitebag, or 1Redbag. Charges that low and you risk the round sticking in the barrel. Not a good thing.

I still have all my old TMs and FMs regarding the "Howitzer, Towed, M198, Caliber 155mm"

I miss that ol job. :(
