Randy,
My attempt at humor. Was not there, but heard some of the black power only matches allowed duplex loads.
Some competitors were using a full load of smokeless and adding a few grains of black powder so they could say it was a duplex load.

That's funny!
I'm so wrapped up in shooting duplex these days I was unsuccessfully trying to make sense of that load. Your humor went right over my head.
I competed in all the Coors matches at Golden, except the first one and I can't for the life of me recall black powder events. Fading memory, I guess.

There are indeed two Americas. Simply put, it is not the haves and have nots. The two Americans are in reality divided into those who do and those who don't.

I remember a schuetzen match at friendship years ago. They told us it was a black powder olly range but that they would let us Duplex. As I remember we used about two grains of black and the rest 4227.

I would be very concerned reverse duplexing. The BP changes the burn rates of the smokeless.  The NRA published an article about duplex over about 30% smokeless being very hazardous back in the 1980s, maybe a bit before.
