at sportsman's warehouse today in Ogdon for $ 29.95 for a 10 oz tub ( ouch ) .
I will try get out next week and give it a try .
I have read a lot of reports about it from a modern in -line muzzleloader forum and almost all the reports have been very positive. I understand it smokes way less , velocities are higher , no crud ring . I will try smaller loads than i use with pyrodex and see if I get good results and can save a little $$$$ in the process. I hope that i can get a accurate load with around 75-90 grains with a 300 grain XTP mag .

Look forward to your report/test
I have some TC 250 superglide shock waves and Barnes 250 tipped MZ's I am going to try with it. I am shooting a Omega 50 cal. Kansas is allowing scopes now for MZ's but I have not put one on mine yet. I am going to test evrything at 50 yards for now. If this first batch goes good I will break out the chrony and put a scope on it to see what I can get out of it.
I see that they recommend regular 209 primers , not Muzzleloader primers like Kleanbore or 777 .
So I just bought some Winchester 209 primers today to use .
but its sounds like it runs hott?
plus you cant go over 120 gr or over a 300 gr bullet and you can only use stright 209s (no!) #11 caps/muzzle 209s :-k
cant wait to see what happens on your tests :thumb .
