The Hodgdon Triple Seven FFG delivers cleaner burning performance and higher velocities than traditional black powder in muzzleloading firearms. This synthetic propellant produces significantly less fouling while maintaining the authentic muzzleloading experience shooters demand.
What Makes This Different
Triple Seven burns approximately 15% cleaner than Pyrodex and produces 20-30% less fouling than black powder substitutes. The granulated FFG formulation provides consistent ignition and optimal burn rates for .50 and .54 caliber rifles. Corrosive residue stays minimal, extending barrel life and reducing cleaning time between shots.
Key Features
- FFG granulation optimized for .50-.54 caliber muzzleloaders
- Burns 15% cleaner than Pyrodex with reduced smoke production
- Volume-for-volume substitution with black powder (no conversion needed)
- Non-corrosive formula protects barrel steel from acidic residue
- Consistent burn rate maintains shot-to-shot velocity uniformity
- 1-pound container provides approximately 140-160 shots depending on charge
- Shelf-stable formulation resists moisture absorption
Field testing demonstrates Triple Seven's ability to maintain accuracy across temperature ranges from 20°F to 100°F. Hunters report reliable ignition in humid conditions where traditional powders might fail. The reduced fouling allows for multiple shots without swabbing, critical during hunting situations where follow-up shots matter.
