I have not shot it extensively, so I can only share some limited experiances...

Does it do as the company claims it to do...Clean burning,easy cleaning,etc
It does seem to follow along the company claims very closely...

What are you using to clean your barrel with
Pretty much the same way that you might clean a centerfire rifle. BH is a smokeless - progressive burning powder developed to mimmick the characteristics of Black Powder, in pressures developed and measurement by volume.

Is it ease of of reloading as they claim,no wiping in between shots
It is...

There are some things we still do not know about the powder as it is so new and has been used in the field so little. It does seem to be hard on breech plugs as it can build a heavy hard residue. This might be the most difficult part of cleaning a BH gun.

Just my thoughts...

I should have also added it was developed to be a BP substitute. As T7 is a BP sub which is also smokeless but non-progressive burning
