Blue Grouse....for your reference:

Damascus circa 1890's......



There are lot's of smokeless loads out there if you do a little homework...all below 7,000 PSI....with readily available modern components......like the load Kensal mentioned above.....

Yes, you can load Black in modern hulls......several companies in the U.S. sell loaded BP shot shells.......

To load BP yourself, you need special powder handling equipment, as any friction created sparks will ignite BP....again, suggest a little homework before you attempt loading BP if you are not familiar with it.........
