Shuetzen to dirty ??? Much better powder than Goex by a long shot! Proof is in the pudding i burn up about 1.5 -2lbs a month. Most likley using a poor patch lube !!
I use a .445 in mine with a .015 duck cloth patch. I use a hammer and driver to start the ball and patch. With this combo and the right patch lube they drive tacks all day long!!
