caligula,

My experience with Pyrodex is possibly older than you are (mid-1980s) and I became convinced back then that it was in fact more corrosive than GOEX black powder. I've neither seen or read anything that would change my mind so in the future, for the sake of your firearms and your brass, avoid the stuff like the plague.

YMMV,
Dave
