[QUOTE="sun, post: 4962982, member: 8678"] I use APP 3F in my Remington C&B revolver exclusively. The more that the powder is compressed, the higher the velocity. It produces a lot of smoke but is very easy to clean. I'll swab the barrel after 40 -50 shots with a mineral oil patch, but no lube is needed over the chambers to keep the bore clean like with black powder. After shooting the revolver, using mineral oil and washing it helps to dissolve most all of the residue from the inside of the frame without needing to take it all apart which saves me a lot of time and effort. Then using more mineral oil after washing helps to insure that any little bit of leftover residue inside the gun will be dissolved and become harmless. Many BP shooters pack their gun with synthetic grease to not need to take it apart which makes washing it impossible. Because APP 3F weighs about 22% less than Goex 3F, that means less creosote and residue is produced by it, plus it doesn't have sulfur which also creates more fouling. APP's unique formula, gives it different fouling characteristics. I tried APP when it first came out as Clean Shot. I started using it in an inline that uses a #11 cap and haven't switched powders since. I use different powders in different guns., some get Pyrodex P, some get 777 and others get APP. The way that I look at it, every powder has some advantages and disadvantages. [/QUOTE]
