What type of powder do you lose in your muzzleloader

[shaman]

Triple Seven.  

I shoot a TC Hawken with a .54 Green Mountain IBC barrel, and Lee R.E.A.L. cast bullets.  I shoot 90 grains of Triple Seven.

I use Shockey's Gold FFFG. Still working out the ideal bullet weight and powder charge.

I use 100 grains of loose black mag 3, its alot faster and cleaner than tripple seven.

Hey Amcveigh,
What bullet are you shooting and what velocity did you get? I haven't found a powder that beats Triple 7 for speed but have not tried Black Magic yet.

I just started muzzloading last year using loose Shockey's Gold. I worked ok. I hated how inconsistent the grain sizes are. I also noticed a drop in my groups a couple months after I initially opened the can even though it was shut tight. I was able to get a 1 1/2" group using 200gr Shockwaves. I heard all the hype about Blackhorn 209 and picked a bottle up this summer. Man, it cut my group in have, basically a clover leaf no at 100yds measuring .75" accross. No swabbing between shots which I was having to do with the Shockeys even though they claim you don't. Cleans farily easy using Hopes, but the breech plug takes a little more attention. The velocity should be about 200 fps faster than the Shockeys as well. It's expensive, but I don't do a ton of shooting and to me it's well worth it. Now I just need to get rid of the Shockeys. Anyone in MD want about 2/3 - 3/4 of a can of Shockey's?

I shoot 100 grains of Triple 7 in pellet form. That`s what works best in my CVA Optima Pro.

I can't believe that he puts his name on that stuff. Low velocities and ignition problems. I actually saw one of the sticks come out of my friends ML smoking and hit the ground about 40-50 yards out.

Been using American Pioneer for 3 years after I got sick of cleaning out the 777 crud ring. Both my Knight Disc, and my buddy's Omega are hitting paper plates at 300 yards. 150 grains (3 sticks) with 300 gr SST's. I changed over to Barnes Expanders after poor bullet performance from the SST's.

I'm using 100 grs of 777 pellets (2x50) with a Precision Rifle 340 gr Dead Center Sabot.
I thinking of trying powder versus pellets this year. I'm also toying with the idea of trying
White Hots.
