    That's the thing, with Pyrodex, you don't need a b/p licence to use it!

    Any supplier of Pyrodex should still satisfy themselves that you hold a valid SGC or FAC before selling to you. same-same as Primers & percussion caps.

    I found 777 to far surpass pyrodex,
    but I still like the old BLACK for rifles and swiss for pistols,
    it is easy to get a ticket and well worth it,
