Agreed, there just isn't the market to support the quality of black powder equal to period Curtiss and Harvey No 6 or Diamond Grain.
Swiss Powder ain't bad but it may not be up to what was used when black was all there was and serious users depended on it to win matches, fill the larder, or defend life and liberty.
I had a gunzine article about the .32 Winchester Special, supposedly based on smokeless factory loads and black powder reloads. The author was not impressed by the performance of BP loads with current production. But some pre-WW I DuPont gave higher velocity, better accuracy, and less fouling.
