    It's been a long time since I used pyrodex, but I found it fouled worse, and corroded worse than real BP.

    As for the static electricity thing, I researched it online for weeks, but could not find an actual instance where it happened in a loading scenario. However, the measure I use on the Lee turret press is the Lyman BP powder measure, and it has an aluminum hopper. The mec press I use for 10ga has a plastic hopper.

    Never used triple 7.

    Cleanup has been soap and water, the hotter the better,,but mostly for quick drying.
    I have just cleaned up with ballistol oil. It's a bit more work, unless you just soak and let sit. I oil the BP guns with ballistol.

    Thnx, Gunfxr. Too much winter hunkering and time to think.
    I'll just stick with Trailboss.

    Anytime.
    Ballistol is the wonder oil for BP shooting, likely as well for shooting old surplus corrosive ammo, which is what it was developed for.
    I have lubed some modern Smokeless guns with it, it's not bad. Haven't really used it on the AR platform.

    Always have heard such great things of Ballistol, but have never, personally, been able to get past the smell.

    It stinks, no denying that.
    However, although I already used it extensively before, the day my wife and I went to a shoot, and she was having ever increasing abdominal pains, we went home, and I just sprayed some ballistol down the bores and Chambers, and on the outside of the two percussion revolvers i'd been shooting, the rifle, and shotgun, took her to the hospital, and forgot them for a month........
    They were perfect. Filled with a rather nasty grey sludge from the BP fouling/ballistol, but it wiped out, no scrubbing, and not one bit of any kind of corrosion, anywhere on any of them.

    If I wasn't sold before, I was then.
