GOEX FFFg is what I use about 90% of the time.  I play around with Triple Seven and Pyrodex now and then, but my hunting load is GOEX.

Only the real stuff for me. Nothing else works as well.

I use 3F Goex quite a bit.  Usually 80 grains.

Back to Goex FFFg as it's the only real black available around here.  I tried Shockey's Extra Gold, Pyrodex P, 777 and American Pioneer and found only pyrodex nearly as consistent and it's much stinkier and more corrosive.  777 is ok for performance, but I hated the crud ring and Shockey's was nearly as bad for that.  Plus wouldn't meter consistently nor would American.  FFFg meters well, works in cartridges well and I use it in my inlines, traditional rifles, kentucky pistol and now my Ruger Old Army.  ;)

Do you use FFFG because it is less fouling ? I have used Goex FFG in the past with my inlines, but with sabots, and cold temps, ( our muzzleloader season is in December) a fast reload in the field was very difficult, due to fouling, and cold barrel. I should give FFFG a try, as I prefer real black to the subs.

Land...I started with flintlocks back in the 70s, used FFF as both the main charge and for prime...I keep a good stock of it around and just never felt the need to change...My flinters are a .40 and a .54, FFF charges all of them...
 
I don't worry about fouling, not really a problem unless you use big charges...I plug the vent, pour water down the barrel and much of the fouling goes with it...

I spent some time with my White .375 today, shooting KIK FFg and paper patched 280gr. bullets. The good ole black did what it always does - shoot those bullets into little groups (at least as little as my  eyesight allows!) and cleaned up easily afterward. I really like playing with my inline rifles when I have the time to get away, I was duplicating a 38-55 in power and accuracy, but didn't have to clean up any cartridge cases at the end of the day. Rate of fire is a bit lower, but what the heck - that way I don't have to cast and patch so many bullets!
