What powder is the only kind that should be used in a muzzleloader?

Black powder or synthetic substitute like Pyrodex or ClearShot
Smokeless powder
Flour
Cocaine

The correct answer is: Black powder or synthetic substitute like Pyrodex or ClearShot

Muzzleloaders are firearms that need a powder charge to fire. The only types of powder that should be used in a muzzleloader are black powder or synthetic substitutes like Pyrodex or ClearShot. These types of powder are specifically designed for muzzleloaders and have a slower burning rate compared to other types of powder. Smokeless powder, which is commonly used in modern firearms, burns too quickly and can cause a dangerous build-up of pressure in a muzzleloader. Flour and cocaine are also dangerous to use in a muzzleloader as they are not designed for this type of firearm and can cause serious harm or damage. It is important to always use the correct type of powder in a muzzleloader to ensure safety and proper functioning of the firearm.
