I don't have a muzzle loader or a black powder type gun with the exception of a black powder cartridge rifle so this is probably a dumb question but here it is...
Can you still use loose black powder in a modern muzzle loader that is designed for the powder "pellet" things. Say if you didn't have access to the commercial preformed powder pellets could you use the same black powder as a "traditional" BP rifle?
I've always thought that it might be wise to have a black powder gun or two just for a worst case scenario where I didn't have access to any other way to shoot or if I just decide it's something I want to try. The older I get the more I become interested in the way people did things before me.
