I get just as consistent results with 777, Goex and pyrodex as I do BH. Am I doing something wrong? Because I've shot jugs upon jugs of BH without any issues whatsoever. Just because something works for you, doesn't mean it works for everyone.

Case in point, I’ve never had a gun rust w/BH ever. But a huntin’ buddy of mine had his rust after leaving it dirty.

Many “modern inlines” have issues shooting it. And even the ones that don’t, you have to use a specific primer. That’s called a finicky powder.

I agree with Semi, I wish more people would answer the question people pose instead of trying to sound like commercials.
