So I could not resist temptation ($9.99 per Lb) and bought bunch of Alliant Black MZ jugs off Sportsman's Warehouse. I could not assess accuracy - essentially was sighing in new scope (vintage steel 4x Weaver with wonderful German #4 style reticle and amazing clarity at low light). Anyway, I really liked the powder. It felt slower than Pyrodex (steady push rather than kick). Probably less potent too. II went up to 100 gr and the "push" still does feel almost pleasant. I plan to take my Chrony tomorrow to see actual velocities. Most importantly, It doesn't have that God awful rotten egg stench that Pyrodex does. It does produce more smoke than Pyrodex (which I like ), The smoke is thick blue-grayish, like true black powder.
