I was wondering if any body has tried this and is it as good as they claim. 5000 shots never cleaned and still can load.:eek: I would need a hydraulic press to load after that many shots with pyrodex or 777. Im real picky about cleaning my guns and they make it sound a lot easier. Also hows the performance?

Thanx:)
 
I just read a report and the powder seems to be what it has ben advertised as....cleans easily apparently. Only negative comment I have heard is that it is easily affected by moisture so has to be kept "contained". Report is in the new issue of The American Rifleman magazine published by the NRA.
 
I have no experience yet...but...I was advised by someone who has used it that it cleans up MUCH better than triple 7...no crud ring as with T7. Clean-up is an important factor as is having to clean between shots. I find that the T7 gets harder and harder to reload if not swabbing between. Hope this is helpful.
 
For most M/L'ers I have met,spitpatching between shots is a given...Keeps the barrel clean and accurate shot after shot.Maybe that's why I've never experienced the dreaded Crud Ring with T7.
I hope this isn,t illegal,but I find a US sight Modern Muzzleloader very interesting..Those Yanks sure like their M/L'ers...
