How could it change if you haven't tried it in the first place?? (give ya a sec to wrap yer head around that one )

But yes, variation in power spikes could be a small issue but easily resolved with careful pre measurement of the FFFG so as not to get any deviance between shots. I have some duplex loads (smokeless/BP combo) for my BP cartridge rifles that are absolutely SUPERB but one has to be exacting doing that. The same exacting nature would probably be needed for this as well.

(Disclaimer: Duplex smokeless/black powder loads are extremely dangerous and are NOT recommended for ANYONE not highly educated and experienced in loading and BP cartridge rifles. To put it simply, it can easily cost you your life.)
