Guess I'll go shooting today and try to burn this can up! Forecast is 100+degrees and still air. That means all that wonderfull, acrid, smoke will hang around for a while and get lots of comments from the Smokeless guys...
HI might even treat em to some Cream Of Wheat filler for some more smoke
Actually a 1 lb can of powder lasts quite a while with an informal shooter such as me! I get a lot of fun to the pound! Loading my .44's at 30 gr and my .36's at 22 gr the smelly black stuff goes quite a ways!
I shoot the RLB and use lubed Patches for fire control.
I once figured the actual costs of shooting BP and it came out something like 5times the cost of a rimfire! Kinda suprised me but tou shoot a lot less with BP.
But where are ya gonna get all the BOOM and Fire that BP gives you?
The best part is that I'll be shooting slow, probablly 3 cylinders to the 2 boxes of 9mm the guy nextdoor is shootin. So Who's havin more fun? The BP shooter of course!

PS
For safetys sake, always fill cylinders from a secondary measure and always give the gun a few minutes to burn embers up before reloading, OK?
