I am talking out of school here.

Someone who has messed with conversions needs to wade in. I am not familiar enough with the pressure chart comparisons between BP and SP.

Certainly you could load it light enough to keep from blowing up the firearm but I don't know what kind of overall performance you would get.

I think everyone understands that you do not intend to try to make this a functional load, but merely to approach it from the "what if" perspective as a sort of academic discussion. I would posit that it is not the first time it has come up.
