Black powder would not be entirely suitable for use with jacketed bullets (no grease grooves to keep the fouling soft), but it would work in any cartridge.
What a lot of people don't realize is that not only was the .38 Spl. introduced with black powder, but the .44 Special was also introduced with black powder in 1907.
Both cartridges were offered in both black and smokeless powder loadings up to World War I.
