I do not shoot much BP, but when I do it is out of traditional , side hammer, cap lock rifles. Pyro does not ignite well for me with std caps, in cold weather and hunting conditions.
Traditional is all I use. I never had a problem with Pyro in cold weather hunting. I'm a lil further south than you but it still gets pretty cold. We've even had snow the last couple of years. That's a new experience, hunting in snow.
white hots are pellets, which would be VERY hard to light off due to the fact there is no powder to shift under the nipple.
American Pioneer is a great powder, but it does have a learning curve to it such as bullet weight, seating pressure and does i need 2f or 3f? I work with it a lot.
