Jim Shockey Gold - Compressed Stick Charges
Has anyone ever used these?? I tried them a couple days ago and was pretty pleased with how clean they were. Guess I'll know more as I shoot them...

I have used them and was happy with my grouping at 100 yards. I found cleaning the barrel to be much easier than with 777. Only thing was I had 2 weak fires, and a couple of primers that got stuck in the nipple but I cannot say it was the powders fault or not.

I hated them the barrel was clean but my gun spit them out like a bad taste, they did not shoot well but when i shot the loose Jim shockey's gold it was dead on. The sticks in my gun were awful.

RE: Jim Shockey Gold - Compressed Stick Charges
I have been real happy with the loose Jim Shockey Gold. The sticks look like they would crumble like an old oatmeal cookie when being seated firmly. And I'm not really convinced the sticks are any faster to load if you use speedloaders with the loose powder.
