RE: New Sub Powder...
As Chap said, at $15 it will do well as long as it lives up to its billing. Even at 777 prices I would at least try it and if it performs I would use it. If it is priced like BlackMag 3 I might try it but may not use it due to the price unless it really performs that much better. There are at least 3 reasons I don't use BM3, cost, lack of performance in my testing so far, and fouling (its fouling is as bad as 777 with a little less crud ring), not even mentioning the availability issues. APP for me suffers from similar problems, its cleaner for sure but the performance is less than what I see from any other powders, it is the slowest velocity powder I have tried so far and was not as accurate as 777 or Pyrodex for me. Of course others have had luck withthese and I hopethey continue to work for them.
The fact of the matter is that pricing will be as big a factor in its acceptance as any other and will probably determine whether it makes it or not. Thats my 2 cents worth.
