    The majority on here don't use Black Powder. They use Pyrodex, Triple 7 or some other heathen concoctions
    Take your point Hares Ears why don't we change it to 'Muzzle Loading' instead of BP?

    I try to stand next to noobs having their first go with a rimmy.

    A full load, listen to the pattern of their shots and time it to let rip at the second before they fire. Share the experience.

    Wahhhaaa, I can join this club. Have a black powder double 10 bore on the hsotgun certificate, has been nitro proofed though so can use it how I like

    Would love to play at pistols at some point as well.

    Mods - another vote for an (albeit small) section for muzzle loaders.....please.

    As for 'real' BP, why use it with the licensing/storage regulations, fouling and corrosion (if you don't clean promptly) when you can avoid all this by using a modern substitute?

    Because most of the modern substitutes are more corrosive than Black Powder, and make an even bigger mess of your cases and barrel.

    To blow the smoke away from our firing point. Then you can marvel at the one hole groups we are shooting with our B.P. Rifles.
