Pyrodex?

[Powder Burn]

Really? You can use FFg in a percussion revolver like the 1851 and 1860? I never realized that. Would you use the same weight as with FFFg?

these days, we are well beyond what we "like" and more about what we have or have found...  shoot it, clean it.. at least your shooting!!!!

I use more of it than I do FFFG and have used more Pyrodex RS than P or real black. Same charge by volume.

Same charge by volume.

THIS^^^^^^^ Don't weigh BP charges by weight.

I was just checking what I have. I also have the RS Pyrodex so can I use that instead of the P in my revolvers?

I stand corrected. Thanks.

As do I...I should have said "measure BP charges by weight."

Yes

I have never tried RS Pyrodex, but I have used FFg in my pistols many times. It works just fine and I use the same charge as FFFg. I don't see any harm in using RS in a pistol.

For what it's worth, the Pyrodex seemed to work just fine in my Army. I am planning on shooting it all up before I shop for more powder. The gent I bought the gun from gave me 300+ Remington #10 caps some I am set for a while I think.
