I have several bottles of Pyrodex and wanted to shoot it up. Holy cow, was twice the job of cleaning up, oxidized in just a few hours. And had more stiff cylinders while shooting with Pyrodex.

I shoot Pyro exclusively and cleanup is no problem but maybe it's been so long since I had real black I don't remember how easy it really is. I can also go for days without cleaning.

I am not the 'spert on black powder so mostly go by what's in that little booklet.

The little booklet is lawyerized. Shoot what works for you just remember you cannot overload a steel framed revolver or IMHO a brass framed .36. You can overload a brass framed .44. It won't blow up or anything drastic but over time will ruin it.
The loading lever on my .44 Remington bottoms out with .35 grs. of Pyro. I don't believe it will seat a ball firmly on top of 30 grs. without using a filler. I don't remember my last one doing that so maybe they shortened the rams or I just got a funny one.
