Hi I have an 1880s forehand and wadsworth “terror” .32 rimfire revolver in good condition. I also acquired a box of smokeless .32 short rimfire ammunition. My question is can I fire this smokeless ammo from this black powder revolver?

I notice the lead bullets are fairly loose in the copper cases and can be rotated slightly.
If not safe to fire could I pull the bullet and refill the cases with black powder?

I've fired period smokeless out of those old pistols and I believe that even though the rounds are smokeless, they seem to be loaded to the same pressure specs as the black powder ammo.
