    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.

    On guest days at Leicester Shooting Centre the black powder handguns are without doubt the most popular. We use a mixed bag of guns from Colt replica's to Rugers and both Pyrodex and Swiss BP. Casting our own balls also enables us to get the best composition of lead.
    The only drawback is that it is left to the RO's to clean up afterwards
