Bronco... what does the powder look like? I am wondering if it still looks like any of the older APP powders.


I have tried the different powders several time, APP - Jim Shockey - Black MZ and have always experienced clumping in a short period of time...





The powder granules have always been a distraction for me. Somewhere along the line someone labeled it as like 'cat litter'. Is still like that in that it is not uniform in size and consistency? In these pics if you look closely at the APP/Shockey powder you can see the granules are not consistent at all.





One last point in all my velocity testing it never did produce the velocities that the higher end powders did.


My interest... I was just talking to friend that works for Speer in Lewiston, they were doing some ML bullet testing and they were shooting Black MZ. So I am now wondering if Alliant may have made the switch to the old Black Mag 3 powder and I believe they intended to do a few years back.
