Pyrodex has an undeserved reputation fostered by people that don't use it. I don't usually clean my bp guns for two or three days after using Pyro and have gone as long as nine days with no rust or corrosion. Full cases of bp or Pyrodex is fine in a top break.

Actually pyrodex is MORE corrosive than black powder. Hawg, if you waited nine days to clean, you were extremely lucky you did not have a ruined, rusted bore.
JD, be damn sure you get in EVER nook and cranny of that old revolver. Any fouling left there will rust it, unless you get it wet and removed. Use OLNY water based cleaner, the old standby is soap and the hottest water you can get. Then physically remove every trace of fouling.
