I started out using Goex FFFg and moved to Swiss FFFg for supposedly better accuracy and somewhat higher velocity. I use them in my two .50 caliber Hawken percussion cap rifles, but the price of Swiss is high and may go higher.
I was hoping some of you who have used either Pyrodex or the Blackhorn 209 in your percussion cap rifles and would be able to answer a few questions for me!?!
1) Is Pyrodex as accurate as Swiss?
2) Does Pyrodex ignite as well and as reliably as real black powder using standard Winchester #11 percussion caps?
3) Can Blackhorn 209 (meant for use in the in-line rifles) be used RELIABLY in a percussion cap rifle or is it just too difficult to ignite?
4) Is Blackhorn 209 as accurate as Pyrodex?
Many "thanks" to those who answer the above questions. :bow:
