Ok so I am tired of trying to find commercial blackpowder loads for my old revolvers.
I wish to avoid any pitfalls. So I'll take any advice from anybody that has loaded BP for those oldsters.

Some questions though.
Can I use any BP substitutes? Such as Pyrodex or other types.
Should I buy cast bullets or are jacked ok to use? I do plan on only using cast lead.
What charge weight should I plan on going with?

Now for a small rant. I refuse to pay Brownells $42 for a $19 bottle BP substitute . Heck with the price, plus sales tax, plus shipping, plus hazmat fee I refuse to spend that much. What is a poor man to do?
