    Finding black powder in my area is all but impossible. Pyrodex is seen in a few shops occasionally. A few years ago, I began working with American Pioneer Powder. Thought it's FFF listed powder resembles FF in granulation, it performs very well. And it requires no lubrication, as it creates it's own lubrication when fired. In fact, during the great powder famine about 10 years ago, I was loading 38Spl and 45-70 with it with great results when I ran out of smokeless powder. It's a volume to volume system like Pyrodex, and meters well in my ancient loading gear. My old Ideal No.5 powder measure was great for loading in that I simply set it to the Black powder mark and it was perfect. Good powder! But it does need BP to ignite in a flintlock pan.😏

      I have used it and the 2f look got me off of it cause we have powder and pyrodex. But it went bang everytime so I wouldn’t hesitate if need be! Keep on shooting!!! Thanks

    Just found your channel, great videos. I just ordered an 1860 Army made by Uberti from Dixie Gun Works. Now all I have to do is find some caps up here in the Maine woods.
    Keep up the great shooting and great videos. God Bless ya

    Well that puts to rest the notion that 36cal cap n ball is weak.a head to head with pyrodex vs triple seven?

    Good test, where I live Pyrodex P is a lot easier to come by. Both powders were pretty close in performance and both had good fps.

    • @CapBallFanatic-gb3jb

  • @terryeichles435
    @terryeichles435 4 месяца назад

    Have enjoyed the comparison tests but you have to admit the consistency of the pyrodex shots were admirable, I think giving it an edge that should also be taken into consideration

    • @CapBallFanatic-gb3jb
      @CapBallFanatic-gb3jb  4 месяца назад

      I agree. Pyrodex does seem to be more consistent shot to shot … across all revolvers.

  • @knutetech
    @knutetech 24 дня назад

    From your previous test of pyrodex against goex 20 grains were used. I was amazed that on this one 25 grains nearly doubled the velocity on the pyrodex.

    Love these T/E's so much, so I have to mention the Idahoain he did Pyrodex RS vs Pyrodex P vs Pyrodex Select. Now, from a rifle, I will say results left me in the Pyrodex P no matter what kind of firearm I am shooting

    Prevideo: close call... But i think pyrodex has it... But Swiss ought to be close
    Edit, post video: closer then i thought. Wow, good test regardless, i agree thats really too close to call definitively for sure. Only an average difference of like 28 FPS.
    Thanks for the video.

    Càn you recommend a cheap but accurate chronograph machine? I make my own powder with an additional acroid gum powder and I don't don't granulate the powder which doesn't seem to make a difference but with my powder and a . 375 ball in my Spiller and Burr has the impact and recoil similar to a 38 to . 357 depending on powder load. Deadly àccurate too need to chrono it to find fps but penetration in dense wet wood is amazing. And no don't try this at home without bench testing and protection

    • @CapBallFanatic-gb3jb

      I found one on Amazon that works well for like 30$ I think. Less than 50 anyhow. Sounds great.
