Triple 7 ffg. It was recommended to me by several shooters. It has worked great for me and I don't intend to change to something else anytime soon.

I used to use Pyrodex RS but when I expanded into Flintlocks, I had to use real BP, tried Goex, and found it to be so fast, clean, and accurate that I switched my percussions to Goex also...outstanding stuff

I have used Black Powder, Clean Shot, and Triple 7, thus far, I will continue to shoot Triple 7. It cleans up easily, shoots great, and allows me to shoot more before cleaning.

Good Luck....

GOEX, in FFg and FFFg, with FFFFg for priming. Once you go black, you never go back...
