I know nothing about powder, as you can imagine 🤣 Maybe I used the wrong term to describe the powder I saw (it didn't look like pellets, but more like something from a firecracker). Oldest weapon I handled was a Winchester Model 1866 from around 1872; Brazil bought some of those after the Brazil-Paraguay war, but soon discovered they were not suited for the army. Unfortunately we don't have it anymore, only a more modern version in 357 and another bolt action in regular 38 (same ammo as the 38 revolver).

I used to have a Henry lever action in .38 Special. It was ok but didn't have the range I needed so I sold it. Wasn't too bad to shoot.
They are fun! Just like those .22 LR bolt action. The 44 Winchester is quite a punch, though I've heard from more experienced guys that the 357 is better for hunting (wild boars in our case)
