Default RE: Lubes & American Pioneer Powder

I shot some Pinnacle just his spring. In the flinters, ignition was not the best. If you used a black powder pan charge you had a lot better chance of ignition. I was using lube again with Pinnacle but this was only target shooting. I did shoot 12 T/C Mag Express 240 grain XTP's out of my Wolverine using Pinnacle without having to swab and the accuracy was excellent.

Many years ago I went to Goex for everything. I was a Pyrodex shooter for years, then went to Triple Se7en and finally went back to Goex. I admit it is more messy but the crud can be swabbed from the barrels, the ignition is instant, and it is cheap to shoot.

Right now I am shooting some Swiss Black Powder 3f and it is a real pleasure to shoot this stuff. I wish it was not so expensive. Next time I am going to try some Graf Black Powder in 3f and see how that shoots. It is made by Wano Schwarzpulver of Germany so it should be a good powder.

There is no Black Mag 3 in my area but I have two people in the southern end of the state looking for some for me. When I order my next case of Black Powder I will order a couple pounds of Black Mag3 along with the case to off set the hazmat fees, if my friends have not found it for me yet....
