RE: Clean shot pellets?
I just got a catalog from Midsouth Shooters Supply and they are still listing Clean Shot Pellets. I tried the APP sticks and they are really irregular in size and weight. I do not know how they would be consistent. If Midsouth still has the pellets and you are happy with them you should buy all you think you can store properly without them losing power as I believe they are not going to be available much longer. I have switched to Black Mag'3 which I have to order since no one in the West seems to have it yet. It is available pretty much on the east coast. I also have heard rumers that they may be working on a solid version. Personally I prefer loose powder and the BM3 loose works terrific for me. Higher velocity than equal volume of ffg 777, considerably less felt recoil than 777, no crud ring, accuracy as good or better than any of the other powders, and clean up that amounts to a couple of patches through the bore. APP is pretty clean, BM3 is cleaner and is less susceptible to moisture problems.
