Trying Black Powder one more time

Post by Glen Ring »

I tried Black powder last year. The only supply place is 60 miles from home. Last year all they had was some Old something or other and it wasn't very good. I have been shooting Pyrodex and in Jeanne's gun it shoots great. I found two containers of Goex FF at a gun shop and I'll try it this week in my 45-70...a rather cantankerous Rifle.

Goex 2F has always worked very good for me in either 2.1 cartridge or muzzle loader. I do prefer it in my various muzzle loading rifles to the Swiss 1.5 that works so well in the cartridge guns.
Paul Mathews who authored several fine books on 45-70 black powder cartridge shooting, liked and used Pyrodex quite a bit. I still like, make and use his lube recipe for black powder and smokeless as well. It works good on either.
