I shoot BP at my local clay club and no one minds- always have two or three people wanting to try a 160
Year old sxs! It’s the only gun I know that when people miss a clay they still smile when they hand it back!

anything B.P is fun I do enjoy clays if I can get to shoot with someone who owns a shotgun but I also love my revolver. It always draws a group of people from the side ranges wondering what the noise and smoke is and you could easily blast off all your powder and caps by letting people have a go, they always hand it back with that wide grin after firing a .44 B.P

Another of my bp boxes went this morning so lots of people are getting into it.

Hi would you mind sharing your standard black powder load formula,

[Ranyhyn]

I put together BP clay loads for my 20g SxS and use the on the grouse set up.
Way too much fun.
I have found that an equal volume 21g load does not pattern as well as the square 24g load.
This is annoying because i can get a star crimp on the 21g but need to roll the 24g.
(I like to use a length of wad that exceeds the diameter of the bore).

Hi would you mind sharing your standard black powder load formula,

1 dram of black to each half ounce of shot is a fairly standard rule of thumb.

This may help. Obviously, safe reloading is the responsibility of the individual.

Scroll down the pages to see the loads.
