Ok, I have a Pedersoli .72 double muzzleloader. I haven't had any problems with it, other than Pyrodex powder ignition. Works great with Goex 2f though! So I'm thinking I can put some musket sized nipples on it (Dixie has them threaded 1/4-28) and maybe help the ignition problems a lot. Does anyone know if this much hotter ignition will significantly raise pressures? or, is the pressure more totally dependent on powder charge and bullet weight...The gun shoots 150g of 2f and a roundball pretty well, and the #11 caps are still intact after firing. I have several pounds of Pyrodex that I'd love to shoot up before getting into the Goex, at least for targets and plinking. Anybody tried this before?
thanks!
