Why not just use real black powder, its available and what the rifle was designed to use.
It seems that modern black powder varies in intensity, and some brands aren’t powerful enough for regulation. 4198 matches the pressure curve of black powder and peak pressure with appropriate loads is virtually identical. The cleaning convenience is also a big plus. See Sherman Bell’s article referenced earlier for more information.
