Any 'black' powder that can be shot indoors?

[Lucky]

I find the plethora of black powder substitutes confusing. Is there one among them that can allow a black-powder revolver to be fired indoors?

It's called "A range with good ventilator fans."

Which powder would you use, to produce the least smoke possible, such as to resemble shooting say a .45?

I know of no black powder substitute that acts like smokeless powder.

Good luck with that they all produce a large amount of smoke.
Living in an area that has alot of indoor ranges sucks I have to drive about 100 miles to get to the nearest outdoor range.

Thanks, was reading this and being confused.

Mr. Wakeman is virtually a legend in the black powder community; I'll leave it to you as to why.

Lucky, all you've got to do is load up your firearms and make a quick drive down to Oklahoma City. H&H Gun Range allows BP to be used in their indoor ranges. There's also a range in Dell City that allows BP.

You should be able to squeeze the drive and shooting time into at least 4 days.

My range allows it lucky, but they just banned wolf and steel cased ammo so no more Mosin shootin there for me

All of them can be shot indoors, but you really wouldn't want to shoot most of them indoors.

Cleanshot BP substitute will produce the smoke without the stink...and it doesn't rot your gun the way blackpowder does. It leaves a white, waxy residue that...while it still needs to be cleaned...it isn't as critical to go home and clean it right now. It also cleans up much easier and with a lot less grunge.

This subject has been extensively explored here in the UK since many bought muzzle loading revolvers after the loss of (legally held) cartridge handguns in '97. Many of us now have converted our BP guns to fire nitro loads, ignited by shotgun primer (cylinder is extensively modified) for reliable ignition.

Main issue/hazard is measuring four grains of Bullseye/whatever on the firing point and not double charging by mistake.

Unless the range extraction is unusually powerful, BP/Pyro/777 will smoke most indoor ranges out in no time.
