Black Powder AR-15

Cemetery tries some black powder loads in his AR with video.

And a look at clean up.

Before, he ran a 1911 in black.

    Reminds me of Harry Turtledove’s book, “Guns of the South” and trying to run AKs on black powder.

    My first M16 barely ran on modern powder.

    Boy just ain’t right!

    I think that’s why I like him! 🙂

    I seem to recall that Oleg’s buddies have tried running .458 SOCOM on black, but can’t find it now.

    At the moment I can’t think of a worse platform than the AR for black powder. Still; why not try it if you don’t mind the cleanup? I’m with Weer’d on this. I’ve considered loading 30-30 cases full of BP, but then I think of taking the ’94 all apart…

    If you really want to use black though, a gun that was made for it is a pretty good choice. The little cartridges designed for smokeless just won’t have the same energy when loaded with black. Those that’s designed for it have more powder capacity. I know I know– it’s fun to play around.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
