I had a problem with Pyrodex pellets this year.
I'm shooting a TC Thunderhawk (Older inline) and bought the pellets last year. I have always poured my powder thought I'd try somthing diffrent.
This year I took a shot at a large buck He was 100yds and broadside. After an hour of searching my buddy and I found no trace of a hit. I felt this was wrong given the ammount of shooting I do and my careful sight-in.
A month later durring the shotgun season My buddy took the same buck An 8 point 220lbs. In his side just under the hide was my bullet. stopped by a rib.
Could it be that the Pyrodex pellets, degrade after a year or so?
Is there a shelf-life for them.
I was truly disapionted in their performance.
