Ignition Of Powder Charges.
 Granulated black powder is the easiest to ignite of all the powders that are being produced today and will work with all muzzleloader ignition systems.
 Granulated black powder substitutes such as Pyrodex are a little tougher to ignite and may not reliably perform in flintlock ignition systems.
 Pelletized black powder substitutes are the toughest to ignite and may not reliably perform with most side lock ignition systems.

Black Mag’3 Black Powder Substitute Powder
Black Mag’3® is impervious to shock and significantly more resistant to friction than black powder or other propellants.
 Black Mag’3®’s energy content is significantly greater than black powder but barrel pressure testing showed that it produced pressure levels approximately 50% lower than black powder. Measuring charges with Black Mag’3® is volume to volume with black powder.
 Black Mag’3® is recoverable after exposure to moisture, has a low ignition temperature and it is non-fouling, non-corrosive and nontoxic.

 Note: The manufacturing of Black Mag’3® involves a "curing" process that results in the release of a small quantity of harmless gas, which may continue after the product is bottled. This may cause the bottle to swell, but it does not affect the safety, performance or stability of Black Mag’3®. If you notice that the bottle is bulging, simply loosen the lid to allow the harmless gas to escape; then re-seal the lid.

Hodgdon Black Powder Substitute Powders.
 Hodgdon Pyrodex® and Triple Seven propellants are designed for use in muzzleloading and black powder cartridge firearms found by a competent gunsmith to be in good shootable condition.
 Hodgdon Warning: NEVER mix any two powders regardless of type, brand or source.
 Flintlock Ignition: To insure proper ignition in flintlock systems, 5 grains of FFFFG priming powder should be placed into the bore prior to loading the main charge of Triple Seven or Pyrodex. The main powder charge should be reduced by 5 grains to compensate for the addition of the priming powder.
 Triple Seven and Pyrodex Pellets are designed for use only in newly manufactured muzzleloading, in-line rifles of 50 caliber, 54 caliber, and 45 caliber. Use Triple Seven only in a 209 primer ignition system. Pyrodex may be used with standard cap, musket cap or 209 primer ignition systems. Use only the correct caliber Pellet designated for the given caliber rifle. They are designed to be used with saboted bullets or conicals together with a fiber wad.

Hodgdon Pyrodex P - Pistol Powder The principle use for Pyrodex P is in all pistols and in smaller bore rifles, 45 caliber and down. P is also useful as a priming charge in guns which have a fouled ignition channel or other ignition problems. P compares to 3F blackpowder on a particle size basis.

Hodgdon Pyrodex RS - Rifle/Shotgun Powder Pyrodex RS can be used in all calibers of percussion muzzleloading rifles and shotguns. Like all grades of Pyrodex, it burns cleaner and produces less fouling than blackpowder. RS compares to 2F blackpowder on a particle size basis.

Hodgdon Pyrodex Pellets - No measuring. No pouring. Pyrodex® Pellets give muzzleloaders greater consistency, performance and faster second shots.

 Hodgdon Triple Seven is sulfur free and virtually odorless, the residue left in the barrel is water soluable and can be cleaned anywhere with just plain water.

Hodgdon Triple Seven FFFG - The principle use for Triple Seven FFFG is in all pistols and in smaller bore rifles, 45 caliber and down. Triple Seven FFFG is also useful as a priming charge in muzzleloaders that have ignition problems. Triple Seven FFFG compares to 3F blackpowder on a particle size basis.

Hodgdon Triple Seven FFG - Rifle/Shotgun Powder can be used in all calibers of percussion muzzleloading rifles and shotguns. It has a wide application of uses, burns cleaner and produces less fouling than Pyrodex RS. Triple Seven FFG compares to 2F blackpowder on a particle size basis.

Hodgdon Triple Seven Pellets - No measuring. No pouring. 777 Pellets give muzzleloaders greater consistency, performance and faster second shots.
