    Most ball powders are dirty bastards, it's a given fact you live with. I've found W760 offers both better accuracy & more speed than 2209 in my boys M7 260. Each rifle will differ....

    Patching a barrel after using ball powders is way more sooty black than stick powder like 2209.

    I guess you have to clean your barrel every now and then to know that eh?

    Lol!!! I have bags of the bastards.

    I am going to clean my barrel on Monday to see if it is that sooty and then test out the new labradar pairing for a laugh.
    Then clean it again before I abondon it for a few months
