A new clean powder?
« on: December 23, 2005, 10:06:43 AM »
A while back I saw a full page ad in one of my magazines for a new powder that was supposed to be the cleanest black powder type propellent ever.  You could get it loose or as a pellet.  It was not one of the powders I am used to seeing.  Unfortunately, I didn't cut out the ad and now cannot find it.  Anyone else see it, or know of this powder?

Yep, that's the one.  American Hunter has an article on it this month.  Thanks for the info.

I just bought the Shockey's gold and have not shot it yet.
Does it perform and clean like they advertize?

I tried American Pioneer and threw it in the trash. It was clean but didn't ignite good all the time and when it did velocity was all over the place.  I am using 777 pellets and no problem, very consistent. It cleans up ALOT easier than pyrodex.

I am currently using loose Triple 7 and it works very well with very easy  clean-up, much easier than pyrodex....<><.... :grin:

Try MagKor's Black Mag 3. I've only used the old maker's product (ARCO Powder Co.) which was excellent IMO, and the MagKor version is supposed to be even better (more energetic they tell me). Cleaner than any smokeless I've ever used, HONEST! No ignition problems at all and if cleanup was any easier the gun would swab itself out!

I have the new Black Mag'3 and so far it is the greatest thing I have tried in my Omega. Practically no fouling and very good performance.
