RE: Pyrodex shelf life
Thanks cayugad!<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> That's pretty much what I figured, since I shot my gun over the weekend with 5 year old pyrodex, and shot a 1.5" group.
Like you, I've heard alot of folks say it's only good for a year, but obviously that's just not the case. I've always kept mine in a climate controlled environment, and it's never seemed to shoot any different.
