Priming, especially matchlocks and wheelocks. I would NOT load pistols with it over a .22. Remember that velocity is exponential in the calculation for a bullet's energy.

Energy = (Mass/2) * (Velocity*Velocity)

A little velocity? That means alot more energy. That's pressure. That could be dangerous well beyond what looks like a small change in velocity.
