Has anyone tried the pioneer powder? it has some pretty bad reviews on cableas but Im trying to decide whether its worth a shot or not. Its pretty expensive is the biggest thing. Other wise I would just give it a shot but at almost $100 its a little risky.

I use only real black powder Goex cheeper and it dosen't degrade. Easy clean up too. But thats my opinion and you know what they say about opinions and a certain body part ::-k .

I tried Pioneers' stick form and wasn impressed. I am going to try the loose powder once it drys out enough to get to the range.

After talking to a few more people they all seem to say the same thing, hang fires, dirtier than pyrodex and alot of unburned powder. So I guess I'll save my money.
