Black Powder can be a little tricky to load. You have to be sure there is no air-space between the powder and base of the bullet. You also need to use magnum primers. Since you are brand new to reloading I highly suggest you get some loading experience before you try Black Powder.

Lucky for you there is a new smokeless powder out there that mimics the pressures produced by Black Powder, that's Trail Boss. Trail Boss will produce ammo with similar pressures to Black Powder and you will even get a little smoke from it because it's intentionally added. It will produce safe ammo for use in your older and weaker top break revolvers. If you can't find load data for the calibers you want to load write or call Hodgdon and they will provide the load data.

Welcome to reloading...
