I've been using Triple 7 2F powder in my front stuffers for a few years now and am quite happy with it. Easy to find in stock, price is reasonable, never seen any evidence that it is corrosive. My one and only gripe is, accuracy seems to fall away faster compared to BP and Pyrodex as the fouling builds up. Those of you that use it, how many shots can you fire before accuracy falls away? I'm currently shooting 65 grains under a 250 grain Lee REAL lead bullet in my NEF Huntsman. The first 5 or 6 shots are pretty much dead on, next 5 or 6 will wander a little bit. After that fuhgedaboutit, might as well be shooting a smoothbore with an undersize round ball. Back when I used Pyrodex RS, it seemed that accuracy would get worse as fouling built up but there wasn't a sudden point of no return as with T7. I have a few cans of T7 still and would rather use most of that up before I start trying other sub powders.
