I’m not sure that “reloading” applies to BP applications.

I was of the mind that BP was a single shot and then some cleaning and repriming and.........

I could be wrong......

Sorry. You have to 'reload' in the field. A 'load' consists of a charge (powder or, I recommend Trip-7 pellets), bullet/sabot, and primer. All the essential components of a smokeless cartridge you must assemble in the field. When you find the right combo, you'll have a devastatingly accurate and lethal gun. My son-in-law has a Genesis and it shoots just fine. Good luck and good hunting.

Actually, I reload Black Powder, and I don't mean just in the field. I reload .38 Special, .45 Colt and .44-44 cartridges for my black powder shooting Old West style revolvers and lever action rifle.

I use a Lee turret press to reload all of the above calibers. Same process as smokeless, only you have to pay much more attention to details, no static, etc.
