Which grade of powder should I use for an 11 bore percussion live pigeon gun?
Tried some coarse stuff I use in the Sniders etc but it is too coarse to reach the nipple touch hole so ignition is erratic to say the least.
Black powder is difficult to get here so may have to use Pyrodex.

If it works for you then great. I've had a mixed experience with it. Expensive as well.

Are we talking about the same Henry Krank black powder, the one at £15.50 per 500g? I've only found one that's cheaper and that's from kerklees guns at £23.50 per kg, pyrodex is £33.50 per 453g

Going rate at my club was £34 for a kg end of last year for TS2. I'll ask on Sunday where it is sourced from. Yes, Pyrodex is expensive as well.

EXPENSIVE?????
You're having a laugh

If you need to use a greater charge because it burns less efficiently, and it seems to leave more unburnt powder in the barrel, then yes, more expensive. Ok, not as expensive as Swiss or Pyrodex for that matter.

I take it back, the reason it is cheaper here is because it is bought in quantity rather than by the 1/2 kg. However, speaking with shooters this morning none of them will use Kranks powder out of choice. That said, as per my earlier post on this thread if it works for you then fine.
