Great product all-around.
Best to date. Incredibly clean shooting and consistent. Forget about normal muzzleloader cleaning. Buy it and love it.

Not accurate in my rifle for some reason.
The sticks will not slide down the bore on their own, they have to be pushed down with the rod.
I can't deal with the feeling of those sticks grinding their way down the bore wheather it is doing any damage or not.

This is the best powder ever made! I have tried all the rest and they don't hold a candle to American Pioneer or Jim Shockeys Gold. I have read some of the comments about how they can't hold a pattern or keep there barrel clean but in my "American made" rifles they shoot any bullet Awesome and clean up at the end of hunting season with ease no matter how many times you shoot it! Try it! All my friends and family use it, you can too!

I use these sticks in my CVA Accura V2 and they are great! A lot cleaner than pyrodex and blackhorn. Triple 7 comes in a close second. Never had a failure to fire. Anyone who says any different don't know what they are talking about. Thirty seven years ago I used Goex blackpowder. Then Hodgdons pyrodex. American Pioneer Powders Jim Shockey's Gold was a life saver! Thank you Jim!

The best powder out there.I was hesitant at first but glad i did switch from 777,although Hodgdon triple 777 was good.If you want accuracy and a cleaner barrel this powder is for you.If you say otherwise it's because you can't shoot a black powder riffle.Better buy yourself a pellet gun.lol

Great powder, cleans easy. I've fired up to 15 shots in a row without having to swab in between, could have gone more but I didn't want to waste any more bullets. 1" groups at 100 yards out of my omega. Not sure about the other write ups but this is good stuff. Too bad it is not round to slide down the barrel easily each time. I prep my speed loaders with pellets that fit in the barrel easily before hunting. Easy clean up also.
Pros
- Cleans up easy
- Good Value
Cons
Best Uses
I bought as I heard they were easy to clean;--they are, but I could not get these to fly @ 100yds--all over the paper with 10-14" groups. I only tried the sticks--have questions about the pressure inconsistencies from square stick in round hole--a lot of reviews I've read concur with me--these suck; maybe the loose powder is better, but I'm now dialed in @ 100yds with sub 1" groups w/ 777
