Yes. the model 1893 was made for black powder. Model 1897's were made for smokeless and replaced the 1893. Both black powder and smokeless were used for many years, side by side. People got smart and started only buying smokeless shells, easy to clean.

Where can you buy black powder shotgun shells?
"There is no such thing as a black powder shot gun shell, for shot guns they loaded it the same as a regular musket only instead of a single ball they put multiple smaller balls." The above answer is wrong. At least after 1870. Early shotgun shells during the 19th century were filled with black powder, switching to smokeless powder in the early 20th century. Black powder is still used today in blank shotshells, and is available. Look for Black powder shotshells on google. Black Powder Shotgun Shells " The conventional shotgun cartridge is designed for black powder. It was invented around 1870 when black powder was the only kind of gunpowder that anyone had ever heard of. They didn't even call it "black" powder. It works just fine with black powder, and can still be loaded with black powder today.

The empty hulls were available for loading by the user. Originally, black powder shotgun shells were paper or all brass. By all brass, I mean they were brass from the head all the way to the end. Paper shells only last through one firing. The all brass shells can be reloaded over and over again; the all-brass shells supposedly don't wear out. There is a lot of information on the net about loading this type of shell. They are available from a couple of manufacturers, including MagTech. You could try looking up places that sell to "Cowboy Action Shooters." Those types of outfitters are the most likely to have what you're looking for.
