 Terms are a bit randomly used. As well as misused by people. Like "clip"
instead of "magazine". I traiend on the M-1 and learend that term real
fast {BG}

 Well there are many things to consider in your question. First off is the
fact that Black Powder is a slower burning powder. Creating therefore
more forward force. Pushing out the ball.   For a weapon this means that
there is less kickbsack/recoil. Now in an event many years ago. My
Thompson recreation of a Hawkins 45 cal muzzle loader. Running a home
cast ball.  A 0.15" pillowticking patch and I don't remember the ball
weight. But with 90 grains of GeoDex FF Black Power, it was clocked at
mach 1.2 for the muzzle velocity. The recoil felt lor like a 22 magnum to
me.

 did many explosive experiments long ago. Black Powder is underrated by
many. However in your question the main point to understand is that the
loaded weapon. Be it a single shot muzzle loader, or a revolver that is
loaded in the chambers one at a time. Is now ready to go. By that I mean
in comparison to a brass cartridge with smokeless powder and a crimped
bullet. The black powder weapon has steel around the charge. Giving more
strength structurally to the round going off and out of the barrel or the
cylinder.  Simple put the steel/iron for the muzzle loader is stronger
than the brass cartridge.
