This black powder question is not Skirmishing related, but hopefully someone might be able to answer. I have been comparing load data for black powder vs smokeless shotgun shells. It seems like all smokeless shotgun powder is very fast burning, similar to pistol powder. However, most shotgun black powder loads that I have read about calls for 2F powder. Why this difference? Why would you need a fast-burning smokeless load and a slow-burning black powder load?
