I have just sent in an article submission to TFS regarding the use of Pyrodex Pellets in metallic cartridges. At the end of the article is an invite to participate in this Forum Topic so we can discuss their use (or not). The article will deal directly with a now controversial topic regarding Black Powder (or Pyrodex) and airspace.

Prior to the article publication, I wonder how many of you use Pyrodex Pellets in metallic cartridges. Please weigh in if you do, or wish to do so. I for one, use them in the 45 Colt and 44 WCF cartridges.

With rifle in hand, I confidently go forth into the darkness.

Interesting. I infer that this is a way to avoid handling Black Powder and measuring. Why is this controversial? I cannot see how it would be dangerous, but I know little about BP substitutes. Ii sold my last BP firearms yesterday. I am too old to clean them anymore.

Dale, your inference is in error sir. The controversial topic is regarding airspace. I shoot Black Powder and Pyrodex in both loose and pellet form. The article will address the matter fully. For now, I am trying to determine how many of us load Pyrodex Pellets in their metallic cartridges in the past or do now.

Sold your smoke-pole? What? You are never too old to look like you climbed out of a coal mine! Besides, the grandkids can be roped into a cleaning session.
