Shooters World Multi Purpose black powder

[nebhunt]

Has anyone tried this powder and care to share your thoughts? My son shoots a CVA Optima and I shoot a T/C Hawken. From what limited information I can find it says it is almost a clean burning as BH 209 but it can also be used in a Hawken with #11 caps. Currently he is using 777 pellets and I have a small amount of Swiss.

Lol it's no where near bh209

It's made by American Pioneer powder. If its 10 to 15 bucks a pound, it's a good buy.

I know from experience that not much will keep up with bh209 energy wise and it burns as clean as anything I have used. I'm just wanting to know if this shooters world multi purpose powder would be as good or better than 777 powder. Haven't seen the crud ring build up in my son's Optima with the pellets yet. He needs to switch to loose powder for upcoming elk hunt we have planned in Colorado.

Just got some to try. Not worried about velocity as much as the crud ring.

I would be very interested in what you think of it once you get a chance to try it out. The potential of a crud ring is what's keeping me from buying anymore 777.

Weather sucked here last weekend. Going to try again this weekend. Thanks for your patience. I am eager to try this stuff.

Tried the SW MPB today. I give it two thumbs up so far. Similar energetically to 777 but WAY easier to load. Very little crud after 3 shots. Seemed like a similar amount of fouling but much softer. Was able to load 3 easily before swabbing. Can't say the same for 777.

Since my loan was approved at the bank I was able to purchase two pounds of Blackhorn powder, but I'm still going to give the Shooters World Powder a try. Sounds like your results were good.

did you shoot it over a chronograph?

From my reading, it’s a revival of the MZ Black. If so, I’m excited! I’ve had very good luck with the MZ Black, but I’m running low.

How much is the Shooters World Powder going for? A few months back I bought a lb of blackhorn 209 for $60. If there is a cheaper alternative I’m all ears

I got lucky and found a jar of it at bass pro in CT for that price. And wow that’s crazy how expensive it is now
