What is Black Powder?
It's an explosive powder used for hundreds of years as a propellent from rifles to cannons.
It is not a modern powder which is much more powerful..
My Uncle Charlie does a lot of reloading for his cartridges. Some of his powder he uses is black or very dark brown. Can I use that in my Muzzleloader?
No, Definitely not, With Bells ringing. The steel in your rifle is not the kind that can withstand the more power modern powders and very likely will cause your rifle to blow up and ruin your or possibly life. BE SURE YOU ARE USING BLACK POWDER OR A SUBSTITUTE FOR BLACK POWDER.
