When I loaded non smokeless in my hunting muzzleloader I used a variety of things . But never true black or Pyrodex . I used stuff called Black Canyon which eventually changed to Cleanshot and finally went under . I used this stuff because it had no sulfur or the normal corrosive properties of BP . After Cleanshot I went to Hodgdon 777 and it worked very well for me . The no sulfur powders I mentioned were quite easy to clean , in actuality all you needed was tap water and patches . I’ve taken all three of the non sulphuric powders I mentioned in unburned form then put water on them and they dissolved . Once or twice I forgot to clean my ML after the season having fired it but set in the corner for a month or two . Water and clean patches clean it right up with no rust .
