High Energy Black Powder Loads? #478223 04/19/17 09:04 PM

OP Smokeshot Sidelock Joined: Aug 2016 Posts: 35	A friend of mine told me that some 12 gauge black powder loads (and some Brown Bess loads) can exceed 2500 ft lbs of energy. I was not aware that black powder could make that much power. Most black powder loads make between 1,000-1,900 ft. lbs. What's the truth?
