Pyrodex RS in an 1851 Navy?

[alemonkey]

I just picked up a .36 cal 1851 from Cabelas and I now have the perfect excuse to try making my own black powder like I've wanted to for so long. Until I get it made, however, I don't have any suitable powder on hand. I have some Swiss 1.5 but that stuff's like gold considering I have to order it. I also have some Pyrodex RS sitting around. Has anyone ever tried RS in this small of a gun? I'm guessing the results won't be spectacular, but I figure as long as it goes bang it would be suitable for plinking. I really want real black, so I hate to go buy a pound of Pyrodex P.

It'll work, and it won't hurt the gun.

mykeal's right,but the next time you buy a sub,try Triple seven.much more better stuff,IMHO.

You have to really pack the Pyro RS TIGHT to get reliable ignition.

I've shot Pyro RS in my percussions. Shoots fine, but there is a noticeable time lapse 'twixt pop and boom.
