Lets say the worlds in bad shape. Terrorists have taken over/ destroyed/ stolen all the smokeless powder. This is just a what if.
We have primers bullets and cases/hulls. If there a a chart somewhere that will give the smokeless to black powder conversion chart?
Can black powder be used in place of smokeless powder? My simple thoughts tell me sure there is because we had 47/70 and tons of other loaded rounds with blackpowder on the market before smokeless was ever around.
Am I nuts (could be) but there should be an old conversion chart around somewhere.
Other than a powder swap what would have to be done for auto pistol and semiauto rifle to make the powder swap work.
I would assume it would be dirtiter and need more often rapid cleaning to keeping functional.
Comments? Suggestion? Go back to my world of "what if". Just pondering the sudden lack of smokeless. Also please do not suggest getting a black powder rifle as there are millions of newer model guns out there than black powder.
