Grease cookie theory and practice

I don't recall black smelling so bad. Folks at the range kept casting disgusted looks my way, as the smoke was retchid.

Please inform me of said wonderful powder!

Sounds like a great way to clear a range of tacticool armchair mercenaries!

Also may try it on work on basement ninjas, range rats and attic samurai.

I cannot say much about shooting in .45-70's, but I have had to do some experimenting to go from "decent" results to "great" results in a 30" .44-40 Uberti 1873 when using blackpowder.

One little thing that seemed to make some difference was going from all crisco in my beeswax/crisco lube to using 40% crisco and 60% coconut oil. It seems to be more "wet" now, and stickier

Interesting. I too have a Uberti 1873 .44-40 with a 30 inch barrel. I'll have to give your mixture a try.

Dang! 30 inches? Heck with a barrel that long what is the magazine capacity? 20 rounds?

Seriously, though, that does sound like fun.
