![]() ![]() Using major catalog retailer street pricing, we found Triple Se7en FFg sells for $26 per 1-pound bottle, and Shockeys Gold at $20 per pound. To define and compare the attributes of current sulfurless muzzleloading propellants, we selected three distinct products: Blackhorn 209, a new propellant introduced by Western Powder Company Triple Se7en, introduced by Hodgdon Powder in 2002 and enjoying success in the marketplace and Shockeys Gold, produced by American Pioneer. So, with this history behind us, what are the best muzzleloading propellants today? ![]() This includes such products as Black Canyon, CleaR-Shot, and various other compounds. Due to marketing problems, production problems, and quality-control problems, many of these products have vanished from the marketplace. Over the years, various volumetrically measured gas-generating compounds have been introduced. Yet, for many years that is what muzzleloading shooters have been stuck with. In the opinion of many muzzleloading enthusiasts, it is even worse than blackpowder in the corrosion and cleaning departments. Though synthetic, it also contains sulfur and generates sulfur salts that continue the corrosion problem. The prevalent blackpowder replacement for decades has been Pyrodex. ![]() Performance- and convenience-minded sportsmen have long looked for a better way. Blackpowder, a mixture not a compound, leaves behind about 50% of itself as fouling. Sulfur-based propellants are hygroscopic and filthy, promoting gun corrosion, requiring immediate cleaning, and are horribly inefficient. Muzzleloading propellants have lagged behind propellants in cartridges for some time, this despite the great increase in inline popularity and use that continues today. ![]()
