Real black powder, that's been in the original tightly closed (and probably still airtight) metal cans that had been opened and partially used before being stored in a non-climate-controlled shed for 22 years. My parents used to shoot muzzleloaders before I was born, and we're using their old powder.
Pyrodex and the other substitutes don't work well in flints. You can use it, but you still need 4F black powder for the priming and under the main charge to get enough oomph to light the Pyrodex.
