I was of the mind that BP was a single shot and then some cleaning and repriming and.........
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.
“.44-44” Whoops! I meant 44-40!
Do you shoot SASS? Man, black powder in lever guns and revolvers has to be big work to clean up. Shot some of my black powder shells through my 1897 Winchester and regretted it.
In addition to pistol, revolver, rifle and shotgun smokeless rounds, I too reload black powder cartridges. I load 12 ga for my old Ithaca SXS with “London Twist” barrels, and .45-70 GOV’T for my Rolling Block. Both 120 year old plus guns. Of course, the Hawken, which takes no cartridge... Lotsa smoke, lotsa cleaning, but the game falls just the same.
It’s sorta like the Harley guys still riding push rod motors. Something to be said of nostalgia.
