[QUOTE="gnappi, post: 435993, member: 22374"] I never used black powder, I started with Pyrodex and never looked back. It cleans up way easier, stays drier, and isn't explosive. Try it. In a .45 or .50 cal try making your own (or buying) lubed Thompson Center maxi balls with lead, no patch and you can literally knock down small trees (up to 3-4") with them. They're 320-370 grains of killing machine that no patched ball on the planet can equal in energy. You may give up a few yards of downrange but out to typical woods hunting distances, WOW! The wax self lubricates the bore, no sticky messy patches, no sabot melted in the bore, easier to clean bore, faster to load than patched balls and with pyrodex they are hard to beat, scratch that, impossible to beat. :-) [ATTACH type="full" alt="maxi_balls.jpg"]92599._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
