That's largely due to real black powder having more costly storage requirements than subs, so most lgs not wanting to spend more than they have to don't bother stocking it and opt to stock substitutes and what sells is what's cheapest and Pyrodex is the cheapest and also the worst substitute in terms of cleaning, even with lube the fouling is basically like tar.When Estes bought Goex they supposedly ramped up production again in September of last year. Still haven't seen anything besides Pyrodex P (bleh) on the shelves though.
I have some Triple7 somewhere.That's largely due to real black powder having more costly storage requirements than subs, so most lgs not wanting to spend more than they have to don't bother stocking it and opt to stock substitutes and what sells is what's cheapest and Pyrodex is the cheapest and also the worst substitute in terms of cleaning, even with lube the fouling is basically like tar.
That said, Pyrodex is pretty accurate.
Keep an eye out for Triple 7, it's much easier to clean and also packs more energy.
Now if only caps would be available I'd be in business and find the motivation to buy that Pietta Pepperbox I've been looking at.FYI i just got an email update from Paula at Maine Powder House and she recently received a small shipment of Goex. So be patient, Goex is back into production !
Are those winged musket caps? It's a shame they ruined the label.Speaking of caps , lookie at what i found at KTP (which i have not seen in the past 4 years ! )

Yes !Are those winged musket caps? It's a shame they ruined the label.
Cape Gun Works had a bunch of caps last time I was in there.
The CCI winged musket caps are garbage, they are only adequate for reenactor shooting applications . German manufactured RWS are mandatory for precision work.
