Alliant Black MZ

[Chick]

There are the Blue MZ pellets. Not sure who makes those.

Poster on the Frontier website said the Whitewater, CO plant may be closed forever because of the last explosion. There was an explosion at that plant in July, 2016. Not sure that was "the last explosion".

Tried to call APP about three months ago. Phones at the Whitewater plant and at corporate in Florida went unanswered.

Alliant makes the Blue MZ pellets.

I would wager they are made by IMR/Hodgdon for Alliant. It has identical composition as a White Hot and the same patent#. Not just similar but identical

That is interesting. Someone mentioned that the Blue MZ was identical to White Hots and dyed blue. Blue MZ is sold by Alliant and White Hots by Hodgdon

I thought there was so I'd better plan on ordering more than 1 or 2 containers to offset the cost. Thanks.

How does the Black MZ compare volume to weight in grains?

 

[GM54-120]

BlackMZ is a very heavy powder. Roughly 88-89gr by weight is 100gr by volume.

Also you guys have to remember T7 powder is White when near completion and then it was dyed black to be more like we felt Black Powder should look like

Man I hate to see it go. It shoots great in all mine and sure is easy to clean up. Much rather shoot it than pyrodex
