A product company that won't answer the telephone when I call - or not answer my emails would never see me as a customer again.

Too many fish in the blackpowder/substitute sea. Try 777, Goex Pinnacle, Goex Blackpowderor Pyrodex P (pistol) instead.

I called the numbers posted here - ordered 8 lbs - sent a check and they shipped direct - 1st call to delivery was maybe 10 days. Small company with a couple guys (I think) doing it all.

Only tried it in one of my Whites so far - it has a home with that one. Clean and great accuracy.

Steve,

Knowing you shot 460 NE conicals last year, is the BM3 doing well or poorly with them (if you have tried)? Are you using 209 ignition or caps?

I actually was shooting the 496/.504 Bullshop conicals, 70 grns powder, 1/8" wad in my White Ultra Mag - 28" barrel.
Final 3 shot group was 2" at 100 yds.
Its my load now for this one.
Recoil felt a little softer then T7 w/460 conical.
EASY cleanup.
BM3 is supposed to be a slower burner - going to try it in the shorter Whitetail if the weather ever co-ops.

Black Mag'3 is slower than 777. It usually performs better in the longer barrel rifles. My Omega loves the stuff. I actually get higher velocity and less felt recoil than similar loads of 777. I hope the direct order numbers are working. The people at Magkor told me that they would be. It is a relatively small company with few employees that have had trouble with some of the distributors which is why they went to customer direct order.

Forgot to mention not a sign of the 777 crud ring that turned me off on that powder. I can shoot multiple rounds of BM3 without a swab in my Omega. One shot of 777 required a brass brush to clean out the crud ring.

I agree with ML Keith, it is VERY clean and shoots 200 to 300 fps than 777, with less felt recoil. Where I differ is that I couldn't get it to shoot a good group with my Omega. Just goes to show that every gun is differen't.
