| I'm kinda wondering why they can't make the pellets for muzzle loading rifles if they can make these for pistols. I found that 22 grains of pyrodex gave the best accurancy in my Uberti '58, so 30 grain pellets seem to be a near max load, and will no doubt be stout shooting. |

| Okay, back from a frustrating day at the range yesterday to getting ready for a CAS match this morning; I will NOT be using my cap and ball revolvers. Why? I only got one chamber in each pistol to go off; same ignition problems I had with granulated pyrodex. I'll be giving the rest of the pellets away, and switching to real black, as it always goes off when I drop the hammer. |

| Here's a thought, well, maybe a seizure, but here goes. Could the 30 grain pyrodex pellets be used in place of granulated black powder substitute in a .44 or .45 case with just a lubed bullet seated over it? Or possibly with a wonder wad and ball simply pressed over it, both for use in a cartridge revolver of course. |
