home brewed black powder is dead cheap...and the pressure levels with trailboss are way higher than reduced smokeless load....and you can do same thing with black so I cant see point in using it myself.

And where per chance could this home brewed black powder be acquired from?
I have just acquired my first muzzleloader Good times ahead.
