I have another question.
So, if pyrodex is a black powder sustitute could it not be combined with real black powder?
From what I understand most people prefer using real black powder. They say it is much easier to ignite and to achive sure fire in their flintlocks.
Some people also say pyrodex burns cleaner, and is easier to find, but ignition can be difficult.
So why not a mix. Say a 1:3 ratio BP to pyrodex, or whatever ratio needed to archive sure fire, while keeping cost and availability in mind.
Reminder: I don't own or have ever shot any muzzleloader, or used BP or pyrodex. I want to get into muzzle loading flintlocks.
