These topics are always fun to read. Thank's Edwardian for the Woodward info. Daryl, that is a great photo of a vintage gun using black powder in action. Fun isn't it! I use Federal or Cheddite paper hulls for them in both 2&3/4 and 2&1/2 chambers. Usually 1 oz of shot with a plastic shot cup to prevent leading. Half way through the course I'll shoot a station with appropriate smoke less shells to clean out the fouling. I usually ask to shoot last at stations in the woods just to not smoke up a station for my squad mates. People get put off with the thought of clean up but, it is so easy. Wipe down the action, hot soap and water, dry and oil the barrels and that's it. Watch "The Shooting Party" to get a feeling for just how much fun vintage guns and blackpowder can be.
