Couple the excitement, cold hands and the sight picture of a shaking hunter standing in snow with a big black stain on the snow all around the gun is priceless.
Like any change you would have to work up a load for BH209 with your bullet of choice. As for reloading with loose powder regardless of type, a speed loader is nice as are pre-loaded tubes of powder. But if you're as shaky as you think and pouring you're powder all over the ground then maybe you should carry a small funnel. AND, if you shake that much, how do you plan on making an accurate second shot?? Just saying!!!!!
