So far I am convinced that AP is in all forms a better powder than Pyrodex or 777...

1) much cleaner (no debate)
2) cheaper than 777 (no debate)
3) same ballistically from what I can tell
4) moisture problems if they even exist are overrated
===============================================

Place two identical rifles in an unvented bathroom shower. Load one with 777 - the other with AP. Both you & your wife shower... then try to fire both guns afterwards. AP rifle did not fire in my test using T/C Omegas... one stainless - one blued.

Also.... please get your chronograph checked. The bullet speeds registering are incorrect.... right around 15-20% off when comparing both powders.
