Any opinions on the best black powder? I need to get out and do some shooting in preparation for my Toutle elk hunt, and my newest muzzleloader that I've only had for a couple years, has only burned "Black Mag." That being a very difficult, if not impossible powder to find locally, and with mail order being way too expensive after adding in the hazardous materials charge, I want to go with something different. I'm mostly considering either Triple 7 or Pyrodex, either FF or FFF versions. Which one of those is more reliable in a humid environment? I don't really care which one burns cleaner, or gets more velocity, I want to use the one that will be the most reliable while hunting in the rain. |

No opinions huh? OK, I guess I'll just stop at Sportsman's Warehouse tomorrow and pick up some Triple 7 and give that a try. |

I have used Triple 7 and it seems to shoot better then Prodex in my gun (Knight MK85). Good luck on the Toutle tag. Did you get a bull tag or cow tag? |
| bobcat:
Mine's a T/C Black Diamond XR with the 26 inch barrel, if that makes a difference. I guess the Triple 7 is cleaner than the Pyrodex so it at least has that going for it. Do you use the FF or FFF? I have a cow tag. Hopefully will have lots of opportunities. I may need it, 100 yards is my absolute maximum shot I feel comfortable with. |
