I have been MLH now for six years... I recommend you try American Pioneer Powder... you will be amazed. I can shoot 16 times in a row and still seat the bullet completely. One tip with using it... be sure you have pretty much a lubricant free barrel with the first shot... What I do is run a bore snake thru the barrel before loading the first time. I also only utilize BlueWonder gun cleaners... nothing patrolium based touches the inside of my barrel. This cuts the fowling down dramatically.
