Switching to KIK.

The first real BP I ever bought was when I got a flintlock, lots of research said that KIK had less fouling. (?) So I bought 2f KIK. I like it but didn't really have anything to compare it with, other than subs.

When I started shooting black powder cartridges I went with Goex Express based on recommendations. Also tried some Swiss. In my use I didn't see any real difference other than in how I had to load it, since the compression is really different between the two.
When Goex decided to stop making Express I decided I would go with KIK across the board. And I have, kind of, sort of. I still have a little more Express than I thought I did. And the rest of the Swiss. Still got plenty of subs too that I can't seem to give away. Though I have one muzzle loader that loves a certain load of 777, so I don't know if I should bother switching on that one. Though I haven't shot it in a couple years, so it's not a pressing issue I guess. And I will still load American Pioneer in my 577/450's… which I haven't loaded in a couple years either. Hmmm….
