Sounds like you're an addict now too! Just like me, Rem Kid, mpp1423, gmatov, and the rest...welcome!
I think somehow it gets into your blood and you just have to shoot BP. There's just something about that big boom, the smoke and fire, and the way the pistol rolls up in your hand with the recoil if you hold it just right.
I started out with pyrodex pellets for my pistol, and then went to the 777, and I've tried out the ffg pyrodex powder that I use in my rifle. I'm down to less than half the bottle of 777 now so Saturday I went to my local BP supplier and bought a can of fffg goex, (his last can for the time being). I'm tried out the "fake" bp's and now I'm going to give the real deal a try. My accuracy has not varied with the pyrodex or 777, the 58 is more accurate than me at the present time so I expect the same consistency from the real BP. If the rain lets up, I'm going out back to shoot this evening. I've got a cylinder loaded up with the goex and ready to go and my reloading tray is going out with me so I plan on shooting 18 shots at least.
Dragoon, sounds like you did pretty well at the SASS match. I've never been to one but I might try to make my way out to a match sometime to watch what goes on, if I can find one near here.
