Black powder, or a black powder substitute such as Pyrodex. Smokeless powder (modern gun powder) should not be used in a traditional muzzle loading firearm.
In Mississippi, felons are generally prohibited from owning firearms, including modern firearms and certain types of weapons. However, the law is less clear regarding muzzle-loading black powder guns. While some interpretations suggest that felons may be allowed to possess these types of firearms since they are not considered "firearms" under federal law, it is crucial for individuals to consult legal counsel or local authorities to understand their specific circumstances and any potential legal risks.
Check with your local police.
When using a muzzle loading gun it is important to ensure that it can handle modern smokeless powder because of the greater amount of force produced by smokeless powder as opposed to using the black powder that the muzzle loader was intended for.
U.S. Code Title 18, specifically classifies black powder arms as "firearms" under the definition of the Criminal Code, and prohibits their possession to convicted felons.
Black powder and smokeless powder are two totally different animals. For all intents smokeless is meant for loading cartridges and black powder is used for muzzle loading fire arms. Black powder can also be used in cartridge loads. You have heard terms referring to a gun in 45-70 on 38-20 or 44-40 calibers. Those numbers refer to the caliber (45) and the amount of black powder in the cartridge (70 grains) Smokeless powder should NEVER be used in place of black powder in muzzle loaders, or in the same volume as black powder in cartridge loads. So depending on what you are shooting both powders have there place.
