RE: American Pioneer Powder?
ML,
I already convinced another Buddy who just bought his 1st smoke pole 2 yrs ago to switch to APP. He left Pyro and the load in barrel for a year! I cleaned that mess up and managed to restore barrel. He loves the APP in premeasured loose.
Some of these guys just don't understand no matter what you use it will eventually destroy your beloved smoke pole if you don't clean the freekin thing NOW - NOT LATER,3-6 MONTHS,1 YEAR, OR for God Sake 7 Freekin Yrs!
Seen Black Mag somewhere around here but can't remember where. I'm gonna stick with APP in the Knight and still use BP in my T/C. I would only switch to Black Mag if somebody hands down convinced me it would out perform APP. IMO Black Powder is the best thing you can burn in a smoke pole - But gotta clean it like a baby everyday during the season.
I would be interested in the results of your test of the 2 powders. That's the kind of info we ned here.
