arrow32 Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 What kind of powder do you guys shoot out of your muzzleloaders? Right now i have some of those pellet things. Im thinking about getting some powder tho. My uncle was talking about some kind of pedgrain powder or somthing do you have any idea of what im talking about? Any info on this would be good. Thanks.

WABS Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Re: What powder I've been shooting Pyrodex Select RS for years, however I'm going to give 777 a try and see how it goes. No problem with Pyro Select, just looking to get something a little easier to clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Re: What powder I shoot Pyrodex in my black powder rifles, I shoot Triple 7 in my Encore handgun, and H4198 in my Savage ML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 Re: What powder I have used Goex 2 and 3f for many years. This is in a flintlock so the real stuff is the best in that application as it has the lowest ignition temperature. I have tried both pyrodex and APP and did not find them to be any better accuracy wise than Goex. I have stuck with Goex in my flinters, sidelock and inline and those dead deer have not complained.

too_pointer Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Re: What powder I used to shoot pryodex in my TC muzzles, but changed to 777 pellets in my Encore, and I'm happy with how it has performed. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrow32 Posted December 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 Re: What powder Thanks for the info. Im trying to see what all powder is out there and what you guys shoot. Here at our local ML shop they only have a few kinds of powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HaDeRonDa Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Re: What powder Goex ffg as well. I prefer it due to it's consistancy from one can to the next. The price per shot is great as well. Loose might I add!!! If you have to clean house might as well get right into it and not just do a little dusting. The real stuff is not like dusting but more like cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PA_RIDGE_RUNNER Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Re: What powder After Starting out with Gooex I have tried Pyrodex, and APP but went back to Goex. I felt way to limited in loads with pellets and they are way too expensive for the amount of shooting I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 Re: What powder I started out with the Hodgen pellets with plans to switch to 777 to more precisely tailor a load. Well needless to say I have not switched yet. With the pellets my gun is extremely accurate and I see no need to switch to loose powder, just more stuff to carry around in your bag. Check walmart they have the loose powder for a great price right now, both Hodgen and 777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Re: What powder Shoot pyrodex rs loose powder, using a 120 grain charge. Have tried the american pioneer powder and will not be using it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David_218 Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Re: What powder I use Triple "7" FFG in my Black Diamond M/L. My load is 90 grains (Volume) with a Hornady XTP .452" 250 grainer in a high pressure sabot, fired by a 209 shotgun primer. I took a nice Spike Buck this past Thursday (Dec. 14th) at 75 yards. Shot him through the lungs and he dropped in his tracks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
