Default RE: like that pyrodex

That is some very good shooting...

That little carbine of mine will really lay them in there as well. I have to shoot Goex out of mine since it is a flintlock. Pyrodex RS and P get a bad rap from a lot of people because if fowls so bad and is corrosive. Well when you have to swab between shots and you clean your rifle at the end of the day, what difference does that make? I personally like Pyrodex in a lot of my rifles. It is a very consistant powder, has excellent power, is not a sponge in damp weather, is very cost effective, especially when you can catch a Wal Mart end of the season sale, it is just a very good powder.. I also like the Pyrodex P as it is a little hotter, better velocity, does not fowl as bad as the RS, and works good with about any load...

Again, nice shooting. If you had a scope on that little carbine, think of what it would be able to do.. As already said, that load would be bad deer medicine..
