Default RE: What powder?

$11.00 is for the one pound of powder.. they will tack on the $25.00 haz mat fee. It is a shipping fee. They will add it somewhere and you will be paying $36.00 for a pound of powder. Look for an alternative.

Goex is not an absolute necessity, your rifle as Tahq said will even shoot good with Triple Se7en. Although if you shoot T-7 cut your load 15% because of the strength of it. Also many times you need a wad because T-7 will shred the patch for some reason. I have a $39.95 dollar CVA Mountain Stalker in .54 caliber that with 80 grains of T-7 a wonder wad and a patched roundball, it will knock deer over all day long.

The only reason I do not recommend T-7 to people just starting out is because they are not sure of loads to begin with or the strength of powders, so I always suggest Goex or Pyrodex RS because it is easier to remember how to measure it and shoot it....
