Pyrodex Shotgun loads

[Captain Hubert Arzhel]

Hi all,

Just getting into CAS.  I have a can of pyrodex that I want to get rid of, so I was thinking of loading up some shotshell for it.  However, I don't have any recipes for pyrodex shotshells and I want to keep these low pressure for my vintage shottie.  Any pointers?

Thanks!

I use it volume for volume as an equivalent powder as if it were real BP. I use the same powder volume measurements and shot. It is a little bit more compressible so you might get a shorter load column.
