I have shot Kik powder and liked it. It is about the same as Goex. Lots of smoke. And like Goex dirty, but who cares. Its a good powder. If you normally shoot Goex and can get Kik cheaper I could see shooting it. Another good powder to check out is Graf's & Sons black powder. It is made by Wano, cheaper then Goex and about identical to the way Goex behaves.
