Good Post.
The cowboy shooters seem to prefer Trail Boss. I have tried it and found it to be very accurate in a trapdoor. I know several people that use it with their modern replica Sharps, rolling block, & other single shots. It fills a niche with those who like to fill the case & not worry about pressure & cleaning. One person I know cut a 2.75 inch group with the vernier sights at 200 yards in a Shiloh Sharps.
As a traditionalist, I like prefer black powder in older rifles as that is what they were made for. I too own a Marlin 1895, however 3031 is my powder of choice for this rifle.
