Are we regressing? I thought BP was looked down upon in ASSRA competition shooting. Just wondering.

I'm just guessing, but maybe the BP smoke leaves too much smutch on the exterior surface of those big expensive objective lenses, and the smutch then leads to verbal expressions that some refer to as smut.

Thanks for the explanation.
I have read on this forum that BP was some what discouraged at ASSA shoots and often left up to the Schuetenmeister to allow. Am I wrong in my interpretation that I can not use BP in a registered match?

I smell and look through the haze of BP in almost EVERY ASSRA match I've been to!

It has always been looked up to at Tacoma
even revered. We even held impromptu "Smoke Outs" a few times
but the general membership shooters are tough
They usually stick it out

Can use any powder you want. Any safe load. Stiff duplex loads and a short barrel can be real annoying for some. Heh heh heh..............

That is good to know. I have shot smokeless loads, but prefer BP. I never was a fan of duplex loads. Prefer the BP. I know there are those who argue that smokeless is more accurate and I have no argument with them.

From other posts that I've read, it sounds like MartiniBelgian has been having very promising experiences with his 32-20 using black powder.
