I've shot the Gamebore black powder shells in my guns and they gave good performance but I have come to like the flexability when loading my own. I can vary the amount of shot and the wad column for best performance and hull fit. Using different grades and manufactuer's powders I can vary the speed of the loads. I prime hulls with my MEC Sizemaster and use a wood dowel to seat the wads. I use a roll crimper in my drill press to close and that's it. My vintage guns shoot very well with home rolled black powder shells and with a few minutes of extra cleaning have never exhibited a problem with rusting. Do not be afraid to give black powder a try. It will not hurt your guns and you will have great fun shooting ancient ammunition at clays or in the field.
