How do you KNOW that BP doesn't "stretch things"?

I think that you have to take much of what is written by any gun writer with a grain or 2 on NaCl, 'cause you're often talking about a sample size of 1 firearm and fairly limited load development. I've been misled and outright lied to too many times to take much at face value and, at times, have come up with very different outcomes trying to duplicate something that I'd read about.

Just sayin'
