Somehow i have managed to do pretty well with my Pyrodex RS, Clean Shot,and JSG over the years. Just got into Triple Seven and so far it seems to be a pretty good powder.Something is going to go away soon: Too many powders to mess with. Gave up on the pellets, not worth the added expense.Have looked at theClean Shot and Pyrodex tables and have a ball park idea of the velocity of my favorite muzzleloader loads: Farther than that i could care less. All i know is that they kill hogs and deer; sometimes, under the right conditions, at very long ranges.Havelostone animal, a cowelk, when that useless TC PTX bullet failed to expand and the blood trail petered out.Another hunter foundthat elkand took her out.
