I clicked the site, seems they have only 2f available? BUT ITS ON SALE FOR $20.00. Thats a good price. I'm good for now or would get some.

I’ve hesitated to post on here but here goes. I bought a pound of 3F couple months ago. I was pretty gung ho to try it as I get through Phillipsburg a couple times a year.

I tried it out in my Kibler smr with 4f in the pan. The prime would flash, powder wouldn’t ignite. After several attempts( and I always prick the touch hole) I was worried I dry balled. Pulled the ball. Nope didn’t dryball. Reloaded. Finally got it to fire a few times. The report was much quieter than I’m used to with Schuetzen or Goex. I was shooting about 6” lower than with the other powders.

I took it to a shoot and tried to get some other guys to try it. But after hearing what happened to me, no one would try it.

Their 3F is finer than Sch or Goex. You’d think it would be livelier but it’s pretty anemic in my opinion.

Hopefully they get it figured out. I’d love to use it but not unless it improves.

They have the different sizes. I know their website only says 2f but I called them ahead of time to make sure they had 3f.

ABP granules look like little lava rocks. I see no graphite. Weigh a measured charge and see if the mass equals the volume.

Tried to place a 50# order and it auto adjusted to 28#. With the $58 hazmat it's more expensive than other sources.

Guess it is BP but it sure ain't all that energetic in the reviews and less in the shipping (amounts) ,sounds like maybe a 2 star maybe/Ed

They refer to it as "black powder."

What's it smell like when you open the can and take a sniff?

I took the sniff test. Couldn’t smell anything so I opened a can of Schuetzen. Couldn’t smell anything there either. That being said, my sniffer never has worked very well. But I like the smell of ballistol

I couldn't smell anything from any of them.
These are the measurements I got though. I used a measure that swings across the top so each one would be leveled off the same. I set it to 60 grains just cause that's what it was set to. So 60 grains by volume equals these numbers by weight...
Schuetzen-61.4 gr
New Goex- 54.9 gr
ABP. -47.5 gr

Think I'll wait for clarification , before using this PROPELLANT , in my black powder guns.

I have shot it several times. I live a few miles away from where it’s produced and have seen where it’s made. If it’s not real black powder than I don’t know what is.

I can't wait to find some , buy some and support them . I dont even care if it isn't the greatest powder in the world . I love using my homemade B.P. and my guess is this stuff is PROBABLY better than my homemade powder ! LOL .... Its American made and made near by in Pennsylvania so ....hopefully I find some soon . I'm excited to use it and support them financially ....

Made in the USA always gets my consideration first.
