I just sent them an email to see if this powder will have a reliable ignition in sidelocks with #11 percussion caps. I'll wait to see their response before and the price before I give it a try. It will have to be priced competively with Pyrodex.

Been discussions about this powder on other sites. the word was it would come in 12oz containers, i am pleased to see it will come in 1lb containers.hopefully it will as good as some of Alliants other powders.http://www.chuckhawks.com/black_mag3.htm.if it's as good as it was when tested the second time in this article, it will be another option and IMHO will drive the cost of 777& BH209 down.. that's a win win for us consumers..Ray

I can't read the above article, but I assume they claim no swabbing between shots?
If they are smart marketers they will bring it out at a realatively low price and wait a year or two before they raise it. Only way I will try it.

We have not started shipping this new powder but will very soon. It

One step ahead of you guys.
My buddy is waiting for it to be released so he can get it through his distributer.
Up to 9 shots w/o swabbing is what I was told by Alliant. As long as I can reload in the field a few times if need be thats good enough for me.
