    In the event of any accident - and with a 150 year old rifle it wouldn't be beyond the realm of possibility, I'm sure there would be a problem with insurance. If a you're a member of a club, their insurance wouldn't cover you and I pretty sure under BASC third party liability there would be a problem.

    You might get away with a Nitro BP substitute like Pyrodex etc.

    I have used Hodgdon H4198 in the past and now use reloader 7. The association I am in have insurance for shooting this type of vintage arm using this powder

    I agree with Pyrodex.

    Reloader 7 is a slow burning rifle powder, it requires a lot less powder and depending on the shoot, I work on half loads which are fine for 100 yards.
