Howdy,
Folks I know that use a BP substitute use Pyrodex. Interestingly,Pyrodex now makes pellets in 30 grain and 50 grain sizes. While intended for use in muzzle-loading rifles and pistols,testing has proven that these can be safely used in cartridges. A friend of mine who just got back from the End of Trail shoot used the 30 grain pellets in his .44-40 rifle cartridges-just dropped in the pellet and seated a bullet on top. Some of the other folks I have talked to have placed a wonder wad before seating the bullet. So far,these pellets have been tough to find,but a call to Mike Daly at Hodgden might make your search a little easier.
