"I tried BM3 and it was, at least, 200fps faster than T7. I had some accuracy problems and some large diffrences in velocity, from shot to shot. It is very clean and I am going to experiment with it some more(different grs. of powder and different bullets). You only get a little white residue when you patch between shots. It was quite warm(nearly 80 deg.) when I tried it. I am going to try again in cool weather.

That is incredible. I have read that weighing charges helps with the velocity distributions. This powder is as close to smokeless at we may ever get. It has an incredible amount of energy in it and, I think, should be used with a little more caution. But overall its slower burning nature and broader pressure curves are supposed to subject our muzzleloaders to less pressure than equal volumes of blackpowder.

Come on, did you clock them? What was the average for the 460 and the 444?
