Older Pyrodex (pistol powder)

[Six Shooter Steve]

Anyone remember this stuff being around? Cleaning out the blast box and found this in the back. Can't even remember when I got it lol I knew I had a case of regular but I don't recall ever seeing a pistol version before.

Yep... The pistol is the equivalent to FFF
I have a box of pistol pellets and they are 30 grains apiece.

Thanks squirrel. I was wondering if it was fine grain like triple F but for the life of me I couldn't remember buying it lol guess that's when you have way too much powder.

Still have some, still use it on the odd occasion I shoot cap and ball revolvers.

I shoot "P" in my cap and ball revolver. It works fine. It will work in the flash pan of a flintlock in a pinch. I cannot remember ever seing it in that style of can. You must have gotten that a while ago.

Yeah if I had to guess its prob 80's powder
