Powder: Muzzleloading

 

Link to the manufacturer Hodgdon

Pyrodex and Triple Seven are black powder substitutes that burn very cleanly and are very popular in the United States.  Besides the usual black powder components it contains other ingredients.  Because of this, the German Institute for Material Testing (BAM) regards these powders as "black powder related substances".  German law does not allow the use of these powders in competitions.  However, those laws are currently being revised and changes in this provision are expected.

 

Hodgdon Pyrodex P

The principle use for Pyrodex P is in all pistols and in smaller bore rifles, 45 caliber and down. P is also useful as a priming charge in guns which have a tortuous or fouled ignition channel or other ignition problems. P compares to 3F blackpowder on a particle size basis.

Select is an enhancement of our RS grade of Pyrodex. Using RS or 2F data in a volumetric measure, Select can significantly reduce group size.

Important:
Pyrodex and Triple Seven products can be compared with black powder only by volume, not by weight.  Since 2008, the German firing proof houses have issued comparison charts for loads in grams.  However, Pyrodex and Triple Seven products are about 30% lighter than black powder so that one pound of propellant yields 30% more loads.  Besides excellent ballistic results, Pyrodex and Triple Seven clean up simply with water.
