When I first joined the forum many of you suggested I use REAL black powder rather than Pyrodex or 777. Now that the smoke as clear :rotf: and I have some idea of what I'm doing :shocked2: and that I kind of like this muzzle loader thing, I'm thinking it's time to try the real stuff. Sooooo, what are the benefits of using black powder over the subsitutes? What are the negatives of using black powder? What else do I need to know about this stuff?
Is cleaning after using black powder easier ,harder or about the same as the other stuff?
I will be starting with Goex FFG and will be using it in my Lyman Great Plains Hunter in 50cal.
Thanks
