standard black powder

Charcoal,potassium nitrate and sulfur. I have no idea the exact percentages used of each at the time, but they had to be very close to what is used today. Otherwise it wouldn't work. You can look up the formula very easily.

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. Here is how." http://www.tbullock.com/bpsg.html you can find some more information here: http://www.powderinc.com/cgi-bin/bpstore/perlshop.cgi?ACTION=thispage&thispage=order_ammo.htm&ORDER_ID=271228101 http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BQY/is_3_46/ai_59281213 http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0BQY/is_9_46/ai_64259232 ------------------------------------ Black powder shells were not normally factory-loaded. 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. Goex is a black powder manufacturer and also makes black powder shotgun shells. To buy black powder 12 ga. shells look up Buffalo Arms on the internet.
