First post, so Hi to everyone.
I shoot 2 .44 Remies, an Uberti 8" and a Pietta Sheriff in stainless, plus a Pietta .36 snub nose.
I'm thinking off cooking a batch of BP without sulfur. From what I've heard it's the Kn03 and carbon that do most of the work. The sulfur is in the mix to bring down the ignition temperature.
I'm wondering if the 1075 Plus (hotter) caps would be reliable on a sulfurless mix of about 30gn.
Or maybe a small pre-load of about 5gn of regular Vectan in the back of the cylinder would work as a "starter" charge on a 23gn sulfurless load.
Has anyone any experience, or thoughts on shooting using a Kn03/C only powder?
The sulfur stink would be reduced (gone), but are there any advantages? Less smoke? Less/softer fouling? Economy?
