I'm a diehard purist when it comes to black powder. I don't own a breechloading hammergun that would be period correct for blackpowder at this time, but used an original 16 ga. Powell S X S with Goex black for doves and quail, and now a Manton. Even through all my years competing in m/l rifle roundball competition and hunting deer with them, I've never fired a charge of any "black powder substitute". It's either the real stuff for me, or nothing.
I have killed limits of doves with the S X S Powell on more than one occasion. Loads of fun. Never found the cleanup to be much of an issue.
