Your experience obviously amounts to whatever horseshit you're capable of posting on the internet. Triple 7 and Pyrodex both have an ignition temperature of approximately 750 F. Period. Yet in your "experience," Triple 7 is easier to ignite than Pyrodex. That makes as much sense as a pound of feathers weighing less than a pound of rocks. Real black powder is easier to find than ignorant [bleep] like you care to admit; you have to get off your ass and ask around.

Unlike you, I do kill a few deer and I shoot my muzzleloaders a fair amount. I know their capabilities and I can spot a load of bullshit when I see it -- like your posts. That's the difference between you and me: I bring real experience with data to the table.


I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum.
