JMHO. I donīt see anything wrong in using BP as long as you know how to properly load your rounds with it (and how to clean the revolver after using it).

Having said that, I tend to believe that one can almost always find a safe smokeless load for a good quality solid frame revolver.

I donīt think the same about top break frames, in which I only use BP; seeing a couple of frame latches giving up under what was supposed to be a "light smokeless load" convinced me of not taking that chance with mine.

As a side note: measuring BP by volume is the most common practice; however it can be measured by weight, and it should be measured by weight if you are looking for accuracy.
