Well, I guess this old dog learned a new trick! I'll have to keep it in mind if I ever start using REAL black loads instead of nitro-for-black in my .450 BPE. I probably should work up a BP load, I kinda feel like an imposter using the smokeless in my old Alex Henry.

I shoot many blackpowder muzzleloading shotguns and rifles and never found the cleanup to be a pain, so I just couldn't imagine.......I guess there's more sizzle when you stuff 'em from the back!
