As you can tell, different strokes for different folks as far as powder, but for the life of me, I can't see any reason to shoot pellets. More expensive and less options for tweeking a load. Couple of speed loaders, and you are reloaded as fast as any pellets.

That said, I use used pyrodex and 777 powders in my sidelocks with equally decent results.

In my inlines, I have gone to BH 209, not because it cleans up faster/eaiser (seems about the same to me) but because I don't like to swab between each shot and don't always feel like cleaning the rifle as soon as the shooting session. Went to Colorado hunting two weeks ago, fired a fouling shot and loaded up, hunted for 7 days without shooting at game. Fired the bullet into a stump, put one swab through the bore and packed up the gun. Came home and waited a week before I cleaned the gun. Can't see any evidence of rust. Couse that is with a stainless barrel, but they rust too.

That said, BH 209 is expensive to shoot. It also won't work with all inlines. Have to have an enclosed system and a certain kind of breechplug to get it to ignite reliably
