Pyrodex in Flintlock?

[coloradoclyde]

I hope he didn't mean this PB.. :shocked2:
That would be really stupid.

I got some Pyrodex, Black MZ, H2206, AP70N, Trailboss & Black powder.
In turn I put about 5 grains of each onto a wooden board & tried to light each with a ferro rod scraped with a knife. I got real good sparks but the only one to light up was Black powder
O.
edit to add that the pyrodex was a pellet & I shaved some off it.

PB= Powder, Black. government nomenclature

Not according to Goex. They say you should not use duplex loads (look on the container).

I think that is probably just one of those "lawyer statements" like so many ridiculous safety warnings we see today. It is more than likely a CYA statement. It covers Goex's back side if the shooter messes up his duplex load and blows up his gun. I have shot duplex loads in one of my flintlocks back when I had some of one of the substitutes and wanted to use it up. No problem-o!

It's funny but some of the substitute propellant pellets are duplex loads....you load the end with the black powder toward the breech. :wink:
