And it depends on which gun and powder that you're discussing. 1. I tried to present you with as much data as I thought that I had discovered on the subject. --->>> https://www.thehighroad.org/index.ph...powder.874205/ 2. But now I've found a thread and 2 posts from thefiringline that I had previously posted about on thehighroad back in 2011. These indicate that some TFL members have indeed openly admitted that they've loaded smokeless powder into their Ruger Old Army without a problem. They used a booster charge of black powder to ignite the smokeless powder. --->>> https://www.thehighroad.org/index.ph.../#post-7047942 The most relevant posts of the first thread listed are on page 2. 3. What seems to prompt them to try this is knowing that the ROA was proof tested with Bullseye powder.--->>> https://www.thehighroad.org/index.ph...#post-10987002 For those who weren't aware, thefiringline is often referred to as THR's sister site. TFL's BP moderator 4v50 Gary is also the moderator of THR's BP forum. Last edited by arcticap; September 3, 2020 at 07:58 PM. |

You can use it but you won't be happy with the results. One of my Iron Rules I won't use smokeless even in black powder cartridge guns. Don't know what the Italian proof law are like-do they even have them, but I suspect the legal/accepted pressures for BP are way below smokeless.
