I don't see the point really of using pellets. Part of the fun with BP is pouring in the powder into each chamber 'as they had to do back then'. Not looking for reload speed here. Each to their own though.

. Got to admit though... I do 'cheat' a little bit at the bench. I use dippers to slightly speed up the process instead of flask to measure, then measure to chamber. Just dip and pour. I don't have to set the gun down in the process.
