Thanks for all of your replies it would seem that black powder is the safest way to shoot this type of gun then. That is a shame as it would seem to limit it to outside shooting not much fun in the winter when its cold and wet.

Another question I see in the US they make an adapter so that you can shoot cartridges in black powder revolvers but they say ( cowboy cartridges only ) so I presume they would be black powder cartridges would they.

Would not be legal here, as it would no longer be a muzzle loader.

The manufacturers of same recommend either black powder cartridges OR low-powered smokeless, such as the Cowboy Action target loads.
I have one such revolver: never fired it, but plan to this weekend (using low-powered smokeless).
Wish me luck! If you never hear from again, you'll know it doesn't work!

I use Trail Boss powder for reduced rifle loads to conform with range limitations. I believe that this powder was developed for Cowboy Action loads.The manufacturers of same recommend either black powder cartridges OR low-powered smokeless, such as the Cowboy Action target loads.
