I've burnt many pounds of GOEX through my TC Hawkens in 45 and 50 cal........sad to see them close the doors.

Well, that sucks!
This is worrisome....
More than you know. Cannon shooters and anvil launchers are gonna have to complete for pyrodex with the traditional shooters now.
Pyrodex does not work very well in cannons. Pydrodex requires a "pull" or resistance to the pressure to work. Since Cannons require windage-traditionally 1/40 of bore diameter, pyrodex is in-efficient.
Pyrodex also leaves a residue that attacks the zinc molecule in brass cartridges and rots them out. So I don't use it in my blackpowder cartridges.
I have yet to shoot synthetic, that works as well as black powder. My favorite is Triple 7. It works well as long as I use smokeless powder lube and cleaning solutions, else it develops the infamous Triple 7 crud ring.
Black powder is far easier to clean up than the synthetics.
