what mess does pyrodex have? i clean out my rifle with 4 to 5 patches on an average. last month i shot 9 shots total and it took 6 patches, and that includes the patch to oil the barrel. Nice thread tho, i almost bought some APP myself
.. I'll stick to what works for me now.
Only Mr. Gander would insinuate that Pyrodex fouls as cleanly as other subs. Those six patches for an entire cleaning with Pyrodex must be an attribute toMr. Gander'sTraditions Kentucky bore wall linings-quality that removes the Pyrodex filth so easily & effectively.
Don't ever do a non-thorough job cleaning Pyrodex fouling Mr. Gander. It's the most corrosive blackpowder substituteavailable. It's even more corrosive than real blackpowder.It's as dirty as real blackpowder - fouls as much & attacks unproperly cleaned nooks& crannies on the barrel's exterior -- turning it to rust -in days - not weeks.
But there is good news with Pyrodex. It's very reasonably priced & one of the most overall & accurate blackpowder subs.
