...rifles. Several years ago i received a Traditions Buck Stalker rifle for Christmas. i installed a Minox ZV scope and loaded 120 grains of Black MZ powder behind a 250 grain SST bullet in the black crush rib sabot. That combination makes one inch three shot groups a 125 yards . My range...

John, The partial but not entirely satisfactory solution I found is to load 27-28g of what's left of my pound of Hodgdon Black-MZ. I top it with any 230g lead bullet (intended for 45 ACP) and the gun functions. I'm told the Black-MZ was just re-labled APP black powder substitute. It gives me a...

Worth a try. I thought APP was also discontinued. I had never heard of All Purpose black. But I'll research them.

Hello Johnm1, I've been shooting Black MZ in my conversion revolvers with no lube, and no issues. Of course Aliant discontinued the Black MZ, but one can still get Shooters World Multi Purpose Black or American Pioneer Powder. You might want to give them a try. AntiqueSledMan.

Finally got around to shooting those black mz 38 LC loads, they had some thump to them! They were a very accurate bullet though the mz is nice for clean up I think the real BP loads will thump a little harder. I need to purchase a chronograph ad I have no idea what they were spitting out at but...

Loaded up 50 cartridges with the tool and some black mz tonight. They sure dont make things like they used to. I'm extremely impressed with the quality of this tool. And to think there was no cnc machines when this tool was crafted!

You sure that’s not Doc White?

...round balls overlap. My favorite inline round ball shooter is the .54 TC Fire Hawk with a rifling twist rate of 1/38". Using 80 grains of Black MZ powder it makes a five shot cloverleaf at 78 yards. Bill Knight on firing patched round balls fired from fast twist rate rifles: Not Bill...

Yep. Same here. I'm using up some old Goex Pinnacle which is also the same. No lube needed, but in cap and ball revolvers I do put a dry wad between powder and ball.

Hello Cliff6, I shoot Black MZ (about the same as APP) in my cartridge conversions with no lube. There is no need for lube with this powder, it creates it's own. AntiqueSledMan.

To be honest, the last several times Finland had a Russian problem, it very quickly turned into Russia having a Finnish problem. The Finns are a very independent people. The last time Belgium had a problem - other than the occasional Frankish invasion and occupation - it was with anarchists...

...H4198, Australia Reloader 17, Switzerland. Reloader 22, 15, 7, Sweden. All black powder substitute I have on hand (Pyrodex, Triple 7, Black MZ) is made in the USA. Like I stated above, these are powders of recent manufacture. I am not quite happy with a sole supplier in a swamp in...

I found a maxi ball with an overpowder wad and 80 grains of black mz to be very accurate.

250 Grain SST bullet in crush rib sabot boosted by 120 grains of Black MZ powder.

...Shot. Clean Shot later became American Pioneer Powder. i've used all the APP manufactured powders. Currently have most of a case of Black MZ. Recently tried the latest APP powder called Shooters World Multipurpose Black 3F: 100 grain charges of Shooters World gives the same...

...to Triple 7, as it could be purchased locally. I've been happy with Triple 7, but in my Cartridge Conversion Revolvers I switched to Black MZ. Actually I purchased a case of the stuff from Sportsman's Warehouse when they were closing it out. It's about the same as APP, as it was made by them...

My brother runs a musket nipple on his White Mountain carbine. I will probably pick one up if I do switch to a substitute.

...ignite subs at all with a #11. Even with real black, it gets fussy after a half dozen shots. I picked up a musket cap nipple and it goes off without a hitch every time now, although I haven't been brave enough to try a sub. I like Black MZ/American Pioneer the best of the subs I have tried.

I’d heard about that stuff, never tried it but it sounds like there are some positives. If it becomes available again…
