Which brave souls have used BP for their Lee slugs??

I've been meaning to try it but never got around to it. Why would someone have to be brave or death defying to try it? Cowboy action shooters load black powder shot loads all the time. Black powder is very low pressure, just dirty as hell.
There is black powder load data around for 1oz loads and I was going to put the slug in a wad cup with the rest of the wad cut off, fill the empty space in the hull with fibre wads (I have a bunch for conventional reloading), and give it a try with FFg.

I don't understand. What does that have to do with black powder reloading?
Or is this a commentary on someone giving you really odd advice?
One point of confusion I can see is the "PB" powder. I believe it's been discontinued but was an older IMR smokeless shotgun powder.
Also the part about the slug reloading manual. Every shotshell manual I have has sections on slug reloading but I've never heard of a manual specifically for them.
Your smiley and use of capitals makes me think this is a sarcastic post meant to make someone look silly?

See thats why I need the manual lol
In my readings about the Lee slug I had come across a few people mentioning he use of black powder, I naturally assumed BP stood for Black Powder.(maybe it does) Learning all the time.
I contacted Will Bilozir and asked him for suggestions on what the best components would be for the Lee slugs. The above was his response, most of it I cut and pasted
EDIT:
Should add at this point that my experience reloading shotgun shells = ZERO
