Hey, i'm wondering if you can substitute black powder in a muzzleloader for a smaller amount of smokeless powder.
Whenever i look something up on it its just people shouting "DO NOT USE SMOKELESS POWDER!", but i feel this is just a dummy rule for dumbasses loading with smokeless instead of blackpowder accidentally. My thinking is if you put less smokeless powder, there will be the same amount of pressure as a larger amount of black powder, or because it burns faster, wont push the heavier roundball out as effectively?
