I've never tried this. My guess is you can't stuff the case with enough BP to reach dangerous pressures, but I don't know it for a fact. Rather than guess, check the Goex Black powder loading chart. They put 23 grains of BP under a 160 grain cast bullet in the .38 Special. http://www.goexpowder.com/load-chart.html
