Reloading 12-gauge cartridges typically uses around 1 to 1.5 ounces of black powder, depending on the specific load and type of shot being used. It's important to consult a reliable reloading manual for precise measurements and safety guidelines, as the amount can vary based on the intended use (e.g., target shooting or hunting) and the specific components being utilized. Always prioritize safety and proper techniques when reloading ammunition.

No. The only lower power ammunition for a .44 special is the .44 Russian and .44 American, both of which are over 100 years old and were black powder cartidges. There are a few different factory loads for .44 special and the cartridge is fairly easy to reload giving you many more options. You must never try to fire .44 magnum through your .44 special because if you do succeed, you will likely damage the gun and possibly injure yourself.

You will have to be the judge on safe condition to fire, but I have been shooting a Belmont Damascus barred gun for years with black powder loads and also with the substitutes. I have not loaded more than 60 grains and use it for skeet and target plinking. So long as the barrels and lock are in good shape it should be fine.

However, black powder is still used in fireworks because the extreme explosive power of smokeless powder would prove too dangerous in fireworks.
