What do you use?

I thought perhaps in might be interesting to see what everyone is using in their muzzleloading firearms.

As always please feel free to post comments and agree to disagree.

been using that 777, but i am strongly considering switching to Blackhorn 209.... im gonna try it out at least!

I've had great luck with Triple7.

im still not convinced that 2 pellets of 777 burns and shoots hotter than 3 50grain pyrodex pellets.

Been 777 but I'm going to try Blackhorn 209 and some crush sabots.

I use Black Powder only in my sidelock rifles and shotgun. I think I get better ignition with it. I have tried Pyrodex before but found ignition to be inconsistent.

I use only Triple7 in my Knight’s, I at one time used Pyrodex in them also. Ignition was good using Pyrodex but fowling was a problem.

I don’t mind cleaning my firearms no matter what type of propellant I use. I find cleaning the muzzleloader part of the enjoyment of muzzleloading.

Maybe I didn't read the POLL CORRECTLY, but I use loose Pyrodex in my Lyman sidelock rifles and in a Knight TK2000 shotgun. I use either Pyrodex or 777 pellets in my Knight Disc. I believe that if you are going to clean them, you might as well clean them right with hot soapy water and such no matter what you are burning. I have used lots of Goex in the past , but it is getting really hard to buy it any where here.
