Do you have that problem with KIK sabinajiles?
I don't know what else I can tell you except KIK is the best performing blackpowder I have used, next to Swiss and I would rate it closer to Swiss than to Goex. I don't know how much KIK Triple Se7en has shot, but I have gone through 20 lbs of it during the last year and found it to be very consistant, as consistant as any othe powder I've used, including Swiss. I believeI remember reading something about inconsistancies in KIK some years back, when the political changes were occuring in Western Europe, but Goex also used to be quite inconsistant several years ago. The KIK powder I am getting now is very consistant.I'm also not sure why the fact it is manufactured in Slovenia bothers you. They have been making it a very longtime and appear to know what they are doing. The price makes it the best bargain in blackpowder there is, IMO. Just get a couple of lbs to try and make up your own mind.

I like them all except 777 crud ring, I will shoot App for the best results in the inlines I have now usually FF for heavy loads, the gold is hotter but not near as forgiving and I like to volume measure, I use FFF or P in my pistol and 45 Hawken FF Goex in my 54 hawkens[ all 3] I guess I think its a matter of finding what both you and the gun like, I like to go with low pressure, high velocity and repeated shots for hunting with out cleaning if time framenecessitates it. But all life is a compromise.Lee
