RE: Black Mag3 vs. APP
I did try down to 90 grains of each powder, but the accuracy was actually worse to my surprise. Next time I go out, I will hopefully have more time. I would like to try down to 70-75 grains and see what the accuracy does. I need to stay withbig conicalssince I will be hunting Colorado elk this fall. I just feel better using a 400+ grain bullet on them and Colorado requires conicals.
Pyrodex has always been the easiest to find accuracy with in my guns. Even 777 required a lot of experimentation to find an accurate load with conicals, especially powerbelts. I just like the ease of cleanup and lack of "take it straight to cleaning" right after a shooting session. And I love the loss of the "crud ring" with the new propellents. Worth some experimentation.
