Personally, and only personally, it’s just not worth that kind of effort (for me) just to see a cloud of smoke and hear/feel the concussion of the explosion. I get it, I really do, but I won’t shoot BP again.
Smokeless and nitro powders were an improvement just as non-corrosive primers were an improvement. Plastic shot cups were an improvement… These were all developed to protect the longevity of our fine old guns… and to make it more convenient to enjoy our shooting enjoyment.
