Anyone tried America Pioneer Powder?
« on: January 22, 2006, 10:44:11 AM »
It's called Jim Shockey's Gold FFG

In the Feb issue of the American Rifleman they tested this black powder substitute.  The mfg claims to have fired 5,562 shots over a 90-day period without ever cleaning the bore. I would like another opinion on how well it works in a hunting situation when you need to get a second sabot down the barrel for a follow-up shot if needed.  I will no longer use 777 because I can't get the sabot down tight on the powder for the second shot without swabbing the bore.  (Not easy to do when you're in the tree stand)
Don't give up, Moses was once a basket case.
