Got some for my Knight. Yeah, I have some Goex ffg and I had used Pyrodex and Clear Shot.

Shockey's is pretty much as claimed. I took maybe 20 shots before cleaning. Most I could ever get with black was 3 and maybe 4 with Pyrodex.

Clean-up was a wet patch, one more patch, and a dry patch. Maybe 2-3 minutes and I wasn't hurrying.

Easily holding 2" at 100 yards. 100 grains by volume in a .54, .44 cal 300 Nosler in a sabot.

Lookin to get Bambi tomorrow.

I use Goex but when (often) I can't find it I use AP, Shockey first then regular. I have never liked 777 or anything like that. Don't know why.

I used Clear Shot (I think it was, not Clean Shot). Powder goes bad after a year. Makes a sticky mess when you try to clean it up.

I could only get about 4 shots before wiping with Pyrodex.

I know one is supposed to be traditional with real live BP, but I could maybe get 3 shots and it's obviously very corrosive.

IMO, Shockey's Gold is what most shooters are looking for.
