Default RE: Lubes & American Pioneer Powder

American Pioneer Powder used to be called Clean Shot I believe. I still have and shoot from time to time Clean Shot. The stuff has little fowling, good power, and cleans up real nice. I shoot it out of my sidelocks and inlines.

When I shoot it out of the sidelocks, I pour the powder down the bore then seat a patched roundball onto the powder. The patch is lubed with a liquid moosemilk substance. I have never had any problems with the powder. I also shoot lubed conicals and buffalo ball-ets which have a real sticky lube on them. I can load a patched roundball time after time without swabbing and accuracy and ignition is great. I am wondering when this Clean Shot is going to go bad. The stuff is well over six years old, and I've sat out there in the snow and rain, loading and shooting and so far the stuff other then clumping from time to time, shoots great.
