Pyrodex works fine. Not legal for N-SSA competition though, if that matters to you.
I find Pyrodex fouling residue is more corrosive than standard BP so clean immediately after shooting.
I believe Pyrodex has a higher ignition temperature than real BP so it may be marginally more prone to failures to fire, though I never had a problem in a caplock with it.

Well I took her for a shoot after the powder and caps I bought came in and she shot pretty well, I didn't try any accuracy testing as of yet still waiting for the sizer and I think I will order some bullets from him also. Think I might starting shooting it once a week or so if I can get some decent bullets. Going to apply for a muzzle loader tag this year.
