RE: switching powders....
I can find any powder very easily in my area. I live close to a Cabelas and a lot of stores that carry it all. The only reason I would switch to Triple 7 is for a performance boost or ease of cleaning, which it sounds like it could do. APP is less expensive than Triple 7 and Pyrodex is cheapest around here.
So, I will just have to wait for a paycheck and try some out. If it performs better, I'll stick to it. Thanks for all the help guys. I'll let you know when I give it a go.
