i was sitting here and i wondered if anyone has used blackpowder in a 500L?
i know that you can use bp in 44 mag/sp, but i never heard that 500L uses bp.

I thought about it.... but I didn't want to clean it, especially since I wouldn't be getting anything special from it. (just a "boom" some smoke and a mess.)

I ran off a batch for my 480 BSBH. Just because. It's a hoot ! A mag primer and a big pile of FFFG goodness and since batch was small, just used Missouri PC'd bullets. KaBooom !

You can use black powder in pretty much anything.Blackhorn 209 is less of a mess than real BP or other substitutes. I was shooting a lot of trailboss out of my 300 weatherby a few years ago and ran out and couldn't find anymore. So I tried Blackhorn 209 and while it burned fairly clean it wasn't much of a plinking load.
