CLEAN SHOT is very much still in the powder biz. The loose powder is still being produced and marketed under the CLEAN SHOT name while the company had to start up a new " division" per say to manufactur the sticks as a result of the Hodgdon law suit. I use the clean shot with the same loads that I had used the pyrodex select with very good results (some minor tinkering required) and the clean up is a pleasure compared to the pyrodex. I have a few buddies who were shooting the 777 and having a hell of a time with barrel fouling so I have stuck with what I know. BTW go to www.cleanshot.com to find the dealer nearest you. If ya cant find it tell your local shop to start carrying it!
