Well, I guess I'm gonna have to break down and buy a can of it to try out. Unforunatly I can't get it any where close and I refuse to pay the Haz Mat. I will only be able to try it out in my CVA Wolf and not my KRB. Got a wedding to go to mid Sept near Crown Point, Indiana so I'll side track over to Sportsmans Warehouse in Laffette (sp?) on my way home. I'll have a list of things I need.

I just baught some Blackhorn powder and was just wondering what you guys have found to be the best for clean up with it? Can i still use my TC bore butter and natural lube or should i use something else? Also i shoot 110 grains of pyrodex right now with 300 gr shockwaves out of my omega in your opinions how much diffreent do you think the blackhorn will shoot?
