1892 W. W. Greener Breech-loader 163 Nitro powders possess various advantages over black, the chief being the absence of smoke after the discharge.
1920 G. Burrard Notes on Sporting Rifles iv. 38 There is no acid fouling from nitro-powder to eat into the precious barrels.
1950 G. Burrard Mod. Shotgun (rev. ed.) III. 307 This Nitro Proof was not compulsory, because in the early days of nitro powders many guns were sold which were not intended for use with these powders.
