I have used Pyrodex, and 777 in the past, but got tired of the mess that went along with those powders. Started using a powder named clean shot (now American Pioneer) years ago. The American Pioneer powder is similar to that Shockley powder you bought. It burns clean, does not smell like sulphur, is non corrosive and cleans up real easy. It shoots accurate enough in my TC Omega for deer hunting. All those deer I killed while using it never knew the difference between it and Pyrodex. Whether or not it will obtain the same velocity as Pyrodex is another question, but for deer hunting I couldn't ask for a better powder. The powder discussion is alot like brand and caliber discussions, everyone has their preference. Good luck on your decision.
