Experiance w/ pyrodex pistol pellets?

Found some while getting a new nipple wrench at Sportsmans Warehouse today, was wondering if anyone had any experience using them? I've got two '58 Remingtons propel some lead balls with these things, FYI.

Bull,
I bought some for my dad's older model kodiak double rifle. You'd think there would be ignition problems and thus a shotgun primer, but they fire fine. I've never tried anything else. It regulates perfect with the pellets -- sometimes touching groups...

I wanted to try them in my Colt Walker, but I went with the non-corrosive (clean shot), and also I wish they had them in 50 gr. charges instead of 30... If they're non-corrosive I would try them and see what you think...

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.
