I have a few copper cartridges and am pretty sure that all copper cased cartridges were BP.
Gary, I would assume that when you shoot these old cartridges that you would be able to tell the difference between a BP round and a smokeless round??? My only experience with BP is in my flintlock rifle and when I shoot it on our range there is no mistaking by anyone nearby that it is BP.

Being such a small case, does it also make quite a bit of smoke compared to its smokeless counterpart?
