I am done with the stuff. Twice I had problems getting it to fire. Once I fired 3 primers through it and no go. The other it hang fired with the second primer but finally went bang. Thank goodness it wasn't when hunting and I will not go out hunting with a lack of confidence in my equipment. Gun was properly cleaned, correct type of primer, correct style and clean breech plug, etc. and I know some of you will have your doubts about all of that and that is OK.

Cleaning isn't all it is all cut out to be either. The gun cleans up OK but it is all but impossible to clean the breech plug after using the stuff. I expect to see shiny stainless steel when I am done cleaning it and while that was easy with all other powders I have ever used is a bear with this stuff. Tar stuff that need brushed, scraped, drilled... no thanks.

I will miss the two finger breech plug removal and no need to swab between shots but I will at least be confident the gun will go "bang" when I pull the trigger.
