Nice video. I love round ball and black powder. The only thing that I would have mentioned is the Pyrodex has a higher ignition temperature than black powder. Black powder light off at 460F or so where Pyrodex lights off at 740F. I've seen fellows get misfires in percussion rifles with a longer ignition paths due to the light off temperature difference where the cap will light off but not the powder. It's really more of a problem with flintlocks. I tend to use only black powder due to that. I have use Pyrodex as well as other black powder substitutes however I also go back to black powder. I guess that it's the smoke, boom, and flash that I enjoy.
The faster I go, the older I get.
