Between
Schuetzen
Pyrodex
Triple 7
Accuracy between them have been good... same vol of either and at 100yrds you can't decide the better. I would use either or and not worry about my rifles zero...
In a knight though.
Yep, there volumes of rumors, myths and outright lies concerning Prodex powder. Since the mid 1950s i've owned hundreds of original muzzleloader rifles. At least 90 percent were trashed from using unholy black powder. My old Stag Horn rifle was bought in 2000. The bore is like new after more than 4,000 rounds fired with Pyrodex.
Here in the UK pyrodex and 777 were over the counter no licence needed, then last year they were added to BP and reclassified as explosive , so all three need an explosive licence . My friend has an explosive licence, not difficult to get if you have a rifle or shotgun certificate Ie S1 or S2. He felt it was always pointless buying anything but BP, you can still use nitro powders as propellants are over the counter. The problem arises if you have a flint lock for ignition. France from research requires no licence for BP guns , nice, BP purchasing ???, but seems substitute pyrodex and 777 are banned, I like french gun laws.
When pistols were banned in uk many went the way of archery, I lost shotguns & pistols but took up archery a couple of years ago, and bought a couple of 177 and 22 pcp Scorpio bsa air guns, only low power 12 ftlbs max without a police certificate , but deadly accurate and knocks heads off rabbits and squirrels, one can argue what more can I need. My friend above does not hunt but shoots on ranges several times a week burns a lot of BP and nitro in cartridge guns. He recently joined a ML club , but dose not have a ml rifle , the nearest being a Westly richards monkey tail.
So today I am just a collector of ml and obsolete rifles, I love double rifles and have an obsolete 450-400 very expensive , and a ml .36 double. , but recently taking a liking to ml cape rifles , git a couple a good one , one mint and a rusty cracked stock project one .
So I think the verdict this side of the pond is that BP will be the winner over substitutes
Whatever try to be happy with your lot big or small I am 81 such is this short life .
I wish you well
but not that bad a fist size group at 100 is just fine.. easy loading
