    Kaboomphfaa - Holy smoke or Triple7?

    A percussion BP rifle is headed my way - but if you think smokeless reloading stuff is thin on the ground, you ain't seen anything like BP stuff!

    So - all I can see online and locally is Holy Smoke or Triple7 . . . are there any other options in NZ? Which to try first?

    I have some 777 here if you want it but Holy Smoke is best value for money and more power by volume

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Holy smoke have just released another granulation that's a match for Swiss no2 in burn rate volume and velocity. Nothing really wrong with ffg but this is aimed at cartridge target shooters.

    @Marty Henry slip a bottle in your carry on luggage when you fly down next week and we can give it a try !

    But seriously I'm looking forward to getting my hands on some for the 500 3" BPE and 577 Super Snider

    We would like to bring the anvils as well but the excess baggage would be a killer.
