It's not about FPS or power - smokeless has a different type of pressure/pressure curve than does BP, ergo the caveat of conversion cylinders for Cowboy loads and "no brass framed revolvers".
Yes, I'm sure we all know somebody like Schrapnel, who's "done it" w/o problem - but it's always that "next" shot, when a problem could literally explode upon the scene.
