I’m new to this powder but Hodgdon calls it “HODGDON'S TRIPLE SEVEN MUZZLELOADING PROPELLANT”. It’s not smokeless powder so I guess it is considered black powder. I loaded some yesterday (Triple Seven FFG) and shot them in my stainless 357 Ruger Bisley Vaquero. I wanted to shoot black powder to get a big puff of smoke. I got what I wanted in regards to the smoke. I had to wait after each shot for the smoke to clear to see the target again. Also was very accurate. Dirty to shoot, made the cylinder harder to turn after around 25 rounds. Real easy to clean up after just using water. I mean easy to clean, I couldn’t believe it. Anyone else try this powder?
