Thanks so much Richard, that's just what I was hoping to see. I can now feel much better about handloading the old blackpowder round using updated loading data without being afraid I might lose a couple of fingers, or much worse an eye. Thanks also to all you other folks who responded to my questions. I'm learning more about the Smith and the round than I thought I would, you folks are a wealth of information.

OK, it's gettin on toward bedtime here in the GA mountains for old folks like myself, I'll check the thread again tomorrow to see if there's more good stuff for me to learn about.
