    Derringer conversion .22mag to .22LR

    I was given a couple pounds of Pyrodex(FFFG equivilent). I like to use them for .38 & .357 loads. Does anyone have any data or tried this? The .38 was a blackpowder cartridge, So it should work OK. Yes, I have modern powders, I'm just a cheapskate & a curious one at that:p The pyrodex is still...
