Am I the only one that sees the craziness in all this?? Or am I just plain nuts?? Every year they come out with another new powder. And I still do not think they have came out with anything that just plain works any better than plain old black powder. Now I have not tried this new stuff. But I think they are just coming out with new stuff every year for the shooter to say "ha I got the new stuff". I really do believe that.

Everytime I try the new-more expensive stuff I find it has this problem or that problem. And everytime I go back to good old BLACK. I think I will just stay with the good old BLACK. I am tired of chasing what may or may not be the highest performing powder or bullet or whatever. Just pour some roundballs, some conicals, and buy some black powder and go out and shoot a deer. Tom.
Bingo!!!
Maybe us folks who grew up in WV are different from others.

Blackpowder was all there was for muzzleloaders until the late 70s when pyrotechnic deflagrating explosive came out. Yep, BP had some drawbacks but folks dealt with it and got on with their lives. Patched round balls were not the ultimate in projectiles but the old time hunters made it work. Folks were superb hunters and that counted for an awful lot.
