The BFR revolver, by Magnum Research, comes in a whole series of chamberings and among those is the classic 45-70 cartridge.
This gun is made for smokeless powder but I wonder, since I am a serious blackpowder enthousiast, if I could shoot the 45-70 loaded with blackpowder as well in this revolver. As far as I understood the rifling in the barrels of blackpowder guns is cut deeper to leave space for blackpowder deposits?
Would shooting blackpowder in this gun present any problem?
