Description

This lot consists of a single one-pound container of Hodgdon Pyrodex RS muzzleloading propellant, a granulated black powder substitute. Pyrodex RS (Rifle/Shotgun) is specifically formulated for use in muzzleloading rifles and shotguns and is identified on the label as the FFG equivalent. The propellant is housed in a black plastic bottle featuring the HODGDON brand logo, which notes the company has produced quality propellants for over 60 years. The label includes mandatory safety warnings, designating the contents as extremely flammable, and identifies the manufacturing location as being on the Santa Fe Trail in the United States. Key markings include the product designation Pyrodex RS, the net weight of 16 oz (454 grams), and the manufacturer’s name Hodgdon Powder Co., Inc. The reverse of the container provides storage and shipping classifications, along with handling precautions. Note – As an antique or black powder firearm accessory, this item does not require a background check.


Condition report:

The container is in good overall condition with a fully intact and legible label. The black plastic bottle shows minor surface scuffing consistent with storage. The black screw-top lid is present and functional, though the remains of a paper seal are visible on the top of the cap. The contents appear to be live and loose within the bottle, and the container shows no signs of significant impact, friction damage, or leakage.
