Black Mag3
Been reading alot of good things about Black Mag 3. Tried a number of times to e-mail the company, but they seem not to much give a S#%T about a individual who may be a future consumer of there product. I tried to find out from them what the shelf life is with there product. I live about 2 1/2 hours from cabelas. so I would have to buy a bunch of it to make the trip worth while. maybe someone here can answear my question.
Thanks.
P.S. ain't to impressed by there customer service

RE: Black Mag3
Cruising around at Midsouth looking for a price on BlackMag3 gave me a shock.
After reading MLKeith's posts on it (thanks) I figured it was the "Holy Grail" of powders.....probably so....but, man the price!
$25.+ per pound, that's a lot. Yeah, I know, quality & it works, but ouch!
I know you'd get a lot of loads out of a pound, but the overall cost might hurt a little.
I think I've got two older cans of RS Pyrodex in the cabinet to initially try, or maybe a can of Select later, don't know.
I know I'll try the BlackMag3 sooner or later, but I gotta try and shop that one around.

American Pioneer Powder does everything that black mag3 can, and costs $9 bucks less!
Been doing the same thing with FFFg American Pioneer Powder(@ $16 a pound per case internet) for 4 years! No fowling-easy clean up-cost effective, can't beat it
Please go here to get The Rest Of The Story!

LN,
Thanks for the good info..........
American PP/FFF sounds like a real winner. Especially where shooting multiple rounds w/o cleaning......wow.....1000rnds w/o cleaning his gun once.
You'd be lucky to get 100 out of other powders.
$16.00 per pound is more like it.
Thanks greatly,
Bob

RE: Black Mag3
I have been endorsing American Pioneer for a long time... At cabelas it only runs 14 bucks a pound... Why use black Mag? AP is just as clean if not cleaner...
As for shelf life of AP, I have had it's predecessor (Clean Shot) in my basement for two years and took it out this year and it shot just fine...
There are a lot of nay-sayers out there, but don't beleive the hype, AP is as good as anything else and shoots cleaner!

Tex,
Go on the American Pioneer site and check the "dealer" link for your area.
I did and found that the gunshop up in Attica, NY is carrying it. About a 35 mile round trip for me.
