im not saying your experience isn’t valid, I live in coastal NC, we have humidity, pyrodex has never rusted my guns anymore then real black powder. Ttt7 doesn’t rust hardly at all, that’s not from personnel experience but from a freibd I hunt with that didn’t clean for a week after shooting at a deer. Ttt7 even cleans with lite scrubbing and plain water. Pyrodex and tripple7 are also easier to get for some of us, yea I know we can order online but I’d personally don’t want to have to buy and store that much powder to make the extra costs pay. I have nothing against real black powder, pyrodex and tripple7 just don’t derserve to be demonized by those who prefer the real stuff.
