IMR White Hots.....................New Information Added...Last Post

[Muley Hunter]

If you like to use WH it's your choice. We're just trying to let you know BH is a better powder overall. We all used something else before switching to BH, and we know the advantages it has. I don't mind loading loose powder, because t's all i've ever done. Pellets aren't legal here, so I never thought about them much.

Lots of hunters use pellets and love them. Lots of hunters use BH and love it. In the end, we only need to please ourselves.

I would love to use BH, but I am addicted to the ease of pellets and I am hitting the bullseye with it. Don't get me wrong, I WILL try BH at some point soon, but for now the clean kills are there. I know BH is better because it is all over the web, but you cannot spill pellets, and if you do, just go home.

I wanted to bring this thread back to the top, because some false information has been given, and I was a part of it. Since Hodgdon makes T7 and White Hots. Everybody thought it was the same powder. Well, I finally got around to looking at the ingredients of the two powders, and White hots isn't T7 without a black dye like some thought. For one thing T7 has charcoal, and White Hots doesn't. That could account for the difference in color, and why the fouling is different too. A lot of the ingredients are the same, but all the percentages are different. They're definitely different powders. Here's the lists of ingredients.

T7

Charcoal.....................10%
Sodium Benzoate.........10%
Potassium Nitrate.........30%
Potassium Perchlorate...30%
Dicyaniamide...............10%
Dextrin........................10%


White hots

Sodium Benzoate............20%
Potassium Nitrate............50%
Potassium Perchlorate......25%
Dextrin.............................5%

The SDS Sheet for Alliant's Blue MZ pellets are exactly the same as the White Hots SDS Ingredients.

One thing I do like about pellets is that I push my unfired charge out of the barrel and reload before each hunt, this is a lot easier with pellets. I just take the breach plug out and push it out back through the breech, this way I am assured of a fresh charge that hasn't gained any moisture from condensation due to the temp change of bringing the gun in the house. If I used granulated powder I would have to deal with containing the powder and getting it into my breech plug threaded area of the back of the barrel. I save these pellets for a time when I start shooting again the following year.
