My hunting partner and I use T7-3f in our sidelocks all the time and have never had a problem shooting it with a #11 mag cap... it was a different story with 2f however... we could not get it to ignite in really cold weather. Since we made the swith to 3f no such problem last year i shot my GM_LRH barrel after a day of hunting in 15 degrees below zero. If your nipple is clear so air can pass out of it I can can easily tap T7-3f over under the nipple. If you are patching between shots and the hammer is off the nipple you can hear when the air passes out of the nipple. I should have added when we pour it in we pour in 5 - 10 grains and tap and tilt that over under the nipple... if you drop the whole load often it will compact it self and become difficult to move...

BlackMag, i probably will not make that switch because of price and it is 10 oz. container. Guess that is the same reason I have not made the switch to BH. I am cheap and T7 works for me.

Semi, when I first saw your pics - I really thought it to be un-burnt powder. I have not used very much GOEX and the GOEX I use is 3f. I honestly have not experianced that problem.
