Diamondback Powder

[nw_hunter]

Has anyone tried Diamondback 2f or 3f powder?

I see it's about three dollars a pound cheaper than Goex. Just curious, if the quality is cheaper also. :hmm:

I believe it's made in Brazil at the old Elephant Powder Plant. I googled the name and the feedback was not the greatest as I was curious myself.

Got another powder coming out now called BlackMag.
It's a citrus base and non corrosive with good pressures. I talked to the guys at Long Hammock barrels yesterday and they said they use it in thier barrels and it works beautiful and easy to clean up with out all of the deposits. For more info you can go to BlackMagPowder.com. Problem is they don't have any dealers yet so you have to order from them and it's quite expensive and only a 10 oz. bottle. :hmm:

I've used some Elephant that was decent but I have also used some that was as dusty as an Arizona dirt road and only slightly more powerful.

BlackMag is specifically designed for modern rifles using 209 primer ignition.

I don't think it would have any place in traditional muzzleloaders. I could be wrong, it's happened before.

you're right HD everything I've read about BlackMag says it's designed for the inlines.

Ditto on that, the bloody stuff I tried was horrible, never seen such fouling.
