I have some real black powder and a lot of pyrodex. In order to stretch my black powder supply, I sometimes use 2f or 3f pyrodex for the main charge and prime with 3f black powder in my flintlock Fusil. There's a slight delay but not too bad. It works. I have even used 3f pyrodex in the main charge and for priming in this same gun. There's even more delay there, but it will go boom. Pyrodex will not ruin a gun as long as you clean it properly after shooting. Been using pyrodex for decades and my gun barrels are still like new.
