Hi, first post asking a question and what a great site. Getting back into black powder arms after about 35 years and have noticed a great difference in all powders available on the market now a days. I bought some pyrodex in 2F and 3F for the various rifles recently purchased and have shot all of them but noticed a light recoil with this powder. I do understand pyrodex is a synthetic and not the real deal. I was able to pick up some goex and wondering what the difference might be using the real stuff. I load 35gr of 2F pyrodex normally for my original smith carbine, so with that said, should I lighten up the load with goex or use the same amount of 35gr? Appreciate any info on the differences, preferences and advantages of using real vs synthetic powders. Thanks, look forward to hear from you folks about your experiences.
