Black Powder Substitutes
I have a 1859 Pedersoli. Does anyone use black powder substitutes in this rifle, American Pioneer, Pinnacle, Triple 7 or Pyrodex besides Black Powder ? I will be using a Rapine 544475. Any loading data?

I have used 777 in my cap and ball pistols with no trouble. I just down load it. A good conversion chart for sub's is at this URL http://www.curtrich.com/BPConversionSheet.htm
I use this chart for 777 or APP and a wonder wad and then a ball. Works
very well and with no smell and lots of smoke. I am thinking of using a paper cartridge with a bp kicker and then the bp sub. With a fiber disk and cow and bullet. Hope to keep fouling down. Just didn't want to reinvent the wheel here, if someone has did this before me. Oh well life goes on !!
