By 1911, smokeless shotgun powders had been in use for 35 years. DuPont Bulk smokeless powder was far from "new fangled" in 1911!! I doubt one saw many competitive shotgun shooters using black powder much after the early 1890s. By 1911, black powder shotgun shells were for the poor sharecropper/sod buster who had moved up to a breechloader from a bored out Civil War musket muzzleloading shotgun for his pest control and putting food on the table chores.
