Black does not automatically produce lower pressure than nitro. Remember that the Nitro for Black loadings of black powder express cartridges were loaded with Cordite. These were specifically intended for use in rifles proved for black only and thus were not permitted to produce pressures higher than black did. The Nitro for Black loadings ususally pushed slightly heavier bullets at somewhat higher velocities than did the black powder loads, but at the same pressure.

Loaded to the same pressures, there's nothing wrong with nitro in a black powder gun, but black is traditional. Black is corrosive as hell, nitro is not. Take your pick.
