While looking at Hodgon's web site I saw that they cleared their Pyrodex and Triple 7 for use in rotary powder measures. Nothing on shotshell loaders that I could find though,can't imagine that there would be any difference as long as one would take the time to figure out the right volume bushing to use.

I load my BP shotshells, using GOEX 3f, on a Grabber with a Universal Charge Bar. I'm not suggesting anyone else do it but I saw an old advertisement for a Lyman reloader, similar to modern ones that stated it was suitable for either black or smokeless powders. I believe the modern paranoia about what kind of measures are OK for black is just that(paranoia). And a reason for you to buy a new, more expensive measure. People have been using the old Lyman Ideal #55 measure for decades. It was also described, in the past, as suitable for use with BP. You might find this reassuring: http://www.ctmuzzleloaders.com/mlexperiments/sparks/sparks.html
Or maybe not. Some, like me, find it to be proof that static will not light BP. Others will stick to the story they heard, 12th hand, about what their brother-in-law's third cousin's great uncle's sister's grandfather told them he thought happened, somewhere, maybe.

I reload 12 gauge shells, on a MEC Grabber, using Pyrodex powder and the standard charge bar. No problems yet.
