The only thing I dislike about Pyrodex or triple 7 is the smell… nasty.
Chemical smell from T7. Yuck. Love the smell of blackpowder in the morning… smells like… we’re having venison tenderloin for lunch!When you use Pyrodex for as long as I have you get used to the smell. I kinda like it but real bp does smell better. I've never smelled T7.
I don't understand why so many people claim to have cleanup problems with Pyrodex. A couple of passes with a bore mop and my bores are clean and shiny. T7 is almost double the price of Pyrodex here and I refuse to pay that much for a sub. I only use Swiss and Pyrodex.
It's not so much of a clean up problem, it's in high humidity areas when you can't clean right away is the problem or if you just miss some when cleaning.
