Wanted to check zero on the olé smoke pole so pulled it out and shoot a few rounds this afternoon. Stacked 3 shots that could be covered with a quarter. Love the smell of burnt black powder.

I'm ready to, but I like the smell of BP209!

same here!  Got a smoke pole from MArtinXXX last year and ran across a bunch of Hornady Sabo rnds at a steal.  That BP209 is pricey but dang does it work well!

I'm still old school using the pyrodex.  I just can't see it getting any more accurate and don't mind cleaning it after shooting it.

I'll try to get some photos later.  It was getting late and I still had to cook dinner and clean the gun afterwards too.
