I'd love to know where people get the idea that "stuff it full and cap it with a bullet" is an acceptable practice. During the black powder era, were compressed charges more common, since black powder doesn't have the energy density of modern smokeless powder? For instance, I can quadruple-charge a .38 Special round (if I decided I wanted to destroy my revolver and my hand). Back when the .38 Special was first developed, how many grains of black powder were typically used?
