Since the 1980s I've gone through around 20 pounds of it.

I don't notice any stink worse than any other commonly available powder.

It's significantly cleaner than some powders I've used, and not as clean as others.

Are you shooting cast, lubricated lead bullets, by chance? Lube smokes a lot worse than 231.
