Curious what everyone is using for propellant in their front stuffers. I solely use sidelocks, so BH209 and pellets aren't really my thing. I've got a good supply of Pyrodex RS, as I usually buy a pound for myself when I go shopping for our youth program. However, last time I was out, I bought a pound of Triple 7, and I really liked it. It shot well, and cleaned very easily. I purchased the 3f equivalent, as it should cover all of my guns well, except for my flint, though I've heard T7 works well in some flintlocks. In my flintlock, I'm using 3f Schuetzen for my main charge, and 4f for my priming charge.

777 50/50 pellets. 

x2 , although that's in a modern inline.. 

I love the idea of sidelock, but for now it seems like more time involved in cleaning and maintenance than I have.

Man! I don't miss a sidelock. Lol. I started out with a borrowed gun. Mostly due to my ignorance at that point in my hunting escapades.

Never have I pulled the trigger so much on a gun and have it not go off. Or the dreaded pop fizzzzz, while you are trying to hold it on the deer when it goes off.

I'm laughing ,just thinking about, so maybe I miss it sort of.. ;)

I am thinking a flintlock would be fun.

It is but in a sidelock you can't use bh209 . For that matter I wouldn't use bh209 in any open face ignition or slam fire ignition 

Yeah in my No. 11 percussion I used 90 grains of GOEX FFg, I only use BH209 in my inline

BH209 for me. I like it because I don't have to rush to clean my muzzleloader at the end of the day. Don't let it sit dirty too long though! I made the mistake of that and regretted it when I saw rust in my barrel. It wasn't too bad, but I learned my lesson.

Since getting back into MZ a few yrs ago I went with 777ffg because that’s pretty much all that was available at the time . I used to use pyrodex pellets  back in the day. I have zero complaints with  the triple 7 .
