My favorite powder is pyrodex. I have very little problems with it and find it dependable and accurate.

777 for me, works for everything I shoot from light sabots to heavy conicals and my shotguns. The BM'3 works good for saboted bullets but not worth a hoot for the heavy conicals.

BM3 without a doubt. Leastwise it's my Sidekick's favorite powder. 110 grains of BM3 behind a 300 grain Sabertooth shoots hard and precise for me. Plus a local dealer keeps it in stock after a few shooters asked him to.

Been using goex black powder for 30 years in 4 different guns.
None of them are modern inlines. I do have an old 58 huntsman that I have shot since 75.  Next purchase will be the combo tracker II and Muzzle loader so I will probably pick up some pyrodex when it goes on sale at Walmart.

Until this year I was shooting pyrodex Select, but Busta has put me on the correct path for using cast bullets and by far the 777 fffg works the best.

BTW Busta my daughter took a nice doe last evening shooting my 45 cal  CVA bolt hunter with a NO EXCUSE  460 gr bullet infornt of a wonder wad and 70 gr of 777.  Don't know if you have seen these bullets yet but all I can say is WOW..  The deer went about 15 feet and dropped

Congratulations Dave to you and your daughter! :grin:  My daughter (16) wants to know how old your daughter is? My daughter set out to hunt two years ago and is a very good shot, but when the moment of truth arose she just couldn't pull the trigger when they were up close and personal. She thought I would be upset, but I told her that it was just fine with me if she didn't want to shoot and it has to be their decision. She still shoots occasionally but not going to be a hunter. She likes venison and understands the need for hunting, she just isn't going to be the one pulling the trigger.
