Pyrodex had the lowest standard deviation, ego accuracy, in recent tests I read about. As a reloader of various metalic cartridges I realize it's much easier to tune loads for accuracy with loose powder. Pellets are a bit easier to use under these conditions esp since the user is not a relaoder or inclined to expiriemnt. In fact, the 30 grn pellets he used were mistakenly bought by someone he asked to get him some T3 pellets. Oh well, not surprising the spit happened.
