Guys with the .22LR cartridge coming out in the 1880s, with the .22 short being around since the 1850s, clearly the cartridge started as a black powder one.

Has anyone experimented with reloading .22LR with black powder? Seems like it could be fun especially in an original antique .22LR firearm.

Thoughts?
