Seriously though, you have a valid point. Too often new guys are bombarded with slightly (and sometimes not so slightly) off topic recommendations based on our own preferences, rather than solid answers to their specific question. It would be far better to answer the question first, then add other things they may want to consider.
Well, when you ask someone who has tried all the powders, and leave out the one they think is the best offered right now. They're going to recommend it.
Forums are all about giving your opinion based on what you've experienced, or at least has been proven to work well. That's what I did.
All the powder work. Pyrodex is very corrosive. Even more so that real black powder. T7 gave me horrible crud rings.
I feel BH is the best powder if your gun has reliable ignition with it. Many have tested it, and it always came out the most consistent powder. Something is wrong if you don't get the same results.
Carlos is getting 1" groups at 300yds. Show me another sub doing that?
There's good reason for that. BH is much closer to a smokeless powder than any other sub. BH doesn't work in traditional guns, because it's a modern powder made for modern inlines. Powders that work in traditional guns can't compete.
