I hope this settles some confusion instead of sturring up some more.

Wish they would have tested black powder also, but I am glad they tested the subs.

Thanks for the link

That is so strange, on the Cowboy Shooting page http://www.hodgdon.com/data/cowboy/index.php they say "Do not use a powder measure designed for smokeless powder when loading Pyrodex or Triple Seven. Ignition of Pyrodex or Triple Seven is possible in these measures."
 
Hmm... get on the same page guys.

It sounds like they will be on the same page eventually since they said they will be changing their warnings to reflect the testing. Right now it does sound like a contradiction.
