If you do not mind the smoke, stink, and a little more clean up... Goex is a great powder. It goes off better then any other powder because of the lower flash point, it is a very consistent powder, and had all the power you need for hunting and target shooting. Best of all, buy it in bulk and it is a lot cheaper to shoot them most powders. Black powder is one of my favorite powders. I shoot it probably 90% of the time.
