Yeah, have to be cautious here as things tend to lean towards the much more traditional direction. I reserve my curmudgeon-ness for things related to computing, and I'm just as likely to go shoot my .54 percussion this weekend as I am to go meet up wtih a buddy and shoot his NFA goodies. Or maybe both.
Checked two awallys last night and nothing.

He probably means substitute black powder, like 777 or Pyrodex, I think.

If substitute powder is all you have it should work in most any percussion rifle but will be a headache in a flintlock. The idea is to have what you need to keep shooting regardless what I or anyone else prefers.

Exactly, thank you for your post. I absolutely can't stand that kind of narrowminded thinking & the childish names some use for guns they don't like or powders they don't like, ie; calling guns abominations & abortions & unmentionables & fake powder. Its really ridiculous to see grown men acting like this & thinking like this.

I don't disparage any type of shooting as long as it is done safely and sanely. Can't say the same for some of the other folks here who have responded to my posts...

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boy here we go again. 
I was at the Walmart in Paris, Texas this morning. They didn't have diddly for muzzleloader stuff.
There are some folks that can't get real black powder for whatever reason, so subs are their only option.
I'm fortunate enough to have a good supply of black but I do shoot Triple 7 in at one of my sidehammer guns. I find that it works pretty well, actually.

Wally didn't have any caps in The Woodlands, Texas today, but it's not in a neighborhood that would buy them. 
Use the appropriate tool for the job at hand.
If it's feeding a rock lock, then black powder it shall be.
If percussion, the "substitutes" are just fine.
But your nuts will fall off.

pyrodex etc (IMHO)
Some of us drive Fords because we can't afford Caddy's, shoot Traditions because we can't afford the hand built guns, and use the other powders because the black isn't available. Funny thing is we end up where we want to go, and have fun shooting at stuff. That's all that matters. Some folks just make a big deal out of nothing.

Yup, use what you have and enjoy doing it.
