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.

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
