I fail to understand why people keep using it when there are powders available that do not cause it then, complain about it.
Lee, I do not understand why you would label all the other powders 'substandard'. By whos standard are they 'substandard'.
Swiss is a potent powder if you are talking about power as well as the T7 powders. Lots of folks use and like the Pyro's. And there still is a large group of people that can not shoot BH.
Further your complaint about the 'crud ring' you get is not the same 'crud ring' that others get. And when you get down to it, the while T7 can work up a 'crud ring' in the bore, BH works its own 'crud ring' it just moves from the bore to the inside the breech plug. I can get the ring with a damp patch you and others usually use a drill bit inserted in the BP.
Use what you trust and what works for you! One of the things that sets man apart is the ability to 'adapt' and basically we learn to adapt to everything. You and others have adapted to BH, I have shot a good deal of it but I still prefer T7.
