McCandless Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Somehow I ended up with a sealed bottle of Pyrodex CTG (FG). Since I don't have a cannon, I wondered if it would work for some 12ga loads. (Of course, I could load some up and try it... but figured asking might work too ) It's like real coarse little rocks...anybody ever try 1F in a shotgun?? still ticking! Duc
Lefty Dude, SASS # 51223 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Should work just fine. I had some Pyrodex that was 30 Years old. Loaded it in the 12 ga. hulls and each and every one went, Bang.
Garrison Joe, SASS #60708 Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 Will work as well as Pyrodex ever works (UGH). Keep atmospheric moisture out of the powder, shoot loaded cartridges as soon as you can, and CLEAN well within 4 hours of shooting. That granulation may not meter well through much of anything except a big flask or dipper. Good luck, GJ
Noz Posted May 30, 2014 Posted May 30, 2014 I loaded a batch of 12 ga with Fg for a night shoot at Illinois State a few years back. The spectators said I had burning powder particle bouncing off of the targets. Cool!
