GOEX Cartridges

[Col. Mosby]

Can anyone tell me if GOEX Black Dawge Cartridges are loaded with corrosive black powder or a non corrosive BP sustitute?
Thanks

The catalog page shows them to be loaded with black powder: http://www.blackdawgecartridge.com/c...R_ID=292514661

For example: "Black Dawge 44-40, Black Powder"

Hello, Col. Most of the B.P. substitutes are corrosive..the REAL black powder is hygroscopic..it attracts water & will cause rusting if neglected..but is not in itself corrosive.

Not until they're fired and Pyrodex has an undeserved reputation for corrosion. I once left a 58 Remington uncleaned for nine days after using Pyrodex with no rust or corrosion.
