Just shot some pioneer powder that I got from cabelas. It has a milder kick to it than an equal charge of 777pellets. I shot 25 shots w/o swabbing and the barrel was still relatively clean
. W/ 777pellets, I have trouble getting a sabot loaded after 4-6 shots so I clean every three shots. So far I'm impressed.
The only thing that would give you less recoil with an equal projectile and powder charge weight is
lower muzzle velocity!
Pioneer is nothing but Clean Shot witha different label.
