Need some brains for my Dbol caps

Ok, I made Viagra 50mg caps a few years ago and don't remember it being this complicated as far as the math goes.
I got the capsule machine and "00" caps from med lab supply. Works great and simple to use.

I remember loading my filler, tamping, loading again till full then dumping the filler out and weighing it. That was my filler weight for 24 caps. I then multiplied by 8 which would give me my filler weight for 192 caps. Now this is where it gets confusing to me in figuring out how much powder to use. Every method I found wants me to do the same thing with my raw and I don't remember having to weigh out my raws by filling the caps.
Any guidance here? Trying to make 50mg caps.

Thanks
 
Yes you need to find out your raw weight as well.

Here is the method for capping powders.

CAPPING POWDERS:

Requirements:
capping machine (ie: Cap-M-Quick, The Capsule Machine)
blank caps: size 0 or 00
set of scales: must be accurate with very small measures
powder of selected compound (ie: anavar, clomid, Dianabol - methandrostenolone - , etc.)
filler powder (ie: sodium bicarbonate, corn starch, etc.)
mortar and pestle for mixing purposes
Procedure for an accurate mix:
To make this easier to follow, I will refer to the selected compound powder as 'CP' and the filler powder as 'FP'.
place blank caps in the capping machine
fill the caps with the FP (make sure they are completely full)
empty the caps out onto the scales and weight the FP
divide the weight of the total FP by the number of capsules the machine produces per time
clean the scales off before proceeding
place blank caps in the capping machine
fill the caps with the CP (make sure they are completely full)
empty the caps onto the scales and weigh the CP
divide the weight of the total CP by the number of capsules the machine produces per time
You will now need to determine the ratio of weights of the respective powders CP:FP which you have just capped and weighed.
Remember now that you have 24 caps of CP and 24 caps of FP for a total of 48 caps.

This is just an example of weights:

We determined that our total FP weight for the 24 caps was 18,000 mg or 750 mg per cap.
We determined that our total CP weight for the 24 caps was 10,800 mg or 450 mg per cap.

If you are making 100 mg caps of a specific compound for use, then your equations would look like this:
Note: 100 mg does not represent the weight of the cap but rather the active indredient of the finished cap.

100 mg CP = (unknown number) mg FP

450 mg CP = 750 mg FP
100 mg CP = 750 mg FP / 4.5 mg CP
100 mg CP = 166.67 mg FP

750 mg FP - 166.67 mg FP = 583.33 mg FP

583.33 mg represents exactly how much FP must be used per cap to allow for the presence of the CP.

Therefore, to make 48 - 100 mg caps of the specified compound in this example, you would need:
27,999.84 mg of FP
4,800 mg CP
To mix the CP and FP together you will need to use the mortar and pestle.
For a proper mix, make sure that the amount of FP you are adding to the mortar is equal to the existing CP or CP+FP as the mix progresses.
place all of the CP in the mortar (4,800 mg from the above example)
place an equal amount of the FP in the mortar (4,800 mg)
mix for a few minutes
place an equal amount of FP in the mortar (this time 9,600 mg which is equal to 4,800 mg CP + 4,800 mg FP)
mix for a few minutes
place the remaining FP into the mortar and mix
You are now ready to cap.
Follow the directions of the particular capping machine which you are using.
 
I gotta smoke a dooby before reading that again.
Thanks for your reply
 
This is simple and non scientific but works for small runs.

Weight out 10 caps worth of filler, I use creatine. Pack the same way you will pack your caps.
10 is your multiplier

If we are packing 100 caps, take the weight of ten and multiply times ten.
Write this number down.

Figure out the mg of each cap, we will use 50 mg for this. So for 100 caps at 50 mg per cap
You will need 5 grams of powder.

Subtract 5 grams from the total amount of filler.

Blend well and pack your caps!

A side note, my capsule machine makes 24 caps at a time so If I make 100 caps I actually end up with 96 so my caps are over dosed slightly which is preferred by me.

This works great for guys like myself who are mathematically challenged.

This is what I needed! Very simple and straight. Mathematically challenged is exactly what I am. Thanks fox

on the money it appears harder than it is, relax get a piece of paper, pen and calculator, it is Basic math.
