I'm kinda new at muzzleloading and I have a couple real basic questions. Sorry if this has been covered to death but....is there any real difference in performance or "dirtiness" between Pyrodex and 777 pellets? I know there are loyal users of both but I never did figure out what it is based on. Both sides say theirs is cleaner that the other one but all black powder seems dirty to me. Any real consensus out there guys?

Also does the brand of primer cap really matter? Don't they all go "bang"?

I currently shoot a CVA Accura .50 cal. and use 2 Pyrodex pellets to shoot 245gr Powerbelts.

Thanks!
