Over the years i've used Pyrodex, Triple Seven and all the APP manufactured powders. Most of my shooting is currently with Black MZ and Pyrodex. Recently i've been checking out the Shooters World powder. The Shooters World powder is a little finer than Black MZ and the smell is different.
Began with two 3" bullseyes on the board at 50 yards. My .50 Encore was loaded with 100 grains of powder under the 250 grains SST bullet in the crush rib sabot. i fired one five shot group with Black MZ, the other five shot group with Shooters World. Both groups were inside the bullseyes. The rifle report was about the same with both powders but Black MZ made more smoke. Repeated the test at 78 yards with the same result.
Like the other APP powders, Shooters World cleans up nicely using tap water.
