Pyrodex Pellets in .45 LC Rifle Loads

[Major Matt Lewis]

Howdy,

I have a fair number of Pyrodex Pellets that I have won in the past.  Does anybody know how they will perform in a .45 LC round fired through the Rifle?  What is bullet lube and how is it used and will I need it?

[Grapeshot]

They will work just fine.  Use standard Black Powder Lube on your bullets. If you do not have or use the PRS Big Lube Bullets make sure to put a disk of wax papper over the Pyro Pellet and use a lube cookie.

I've been using the Prodex Pellets in my .44/40 rifle for years, they work great.

Yeah, they work fine when you use them in rifles and behind a 250 grain bullet, but they are a bear when used in a SAA and forget that they are supposed to be used in the rifle, not the pistol.
