Hodgdon Triple Seven FFFG Black Powder Substitute 1lb Canister

The Hodgdon Triple Seven FFFG delivers consistent ignition and cleaner burning performance for traditional muzzleloading firearms. This premium black powder substitute produces higher velocities than Pyrodex while generating significantly less fouling and corrosive residue.

What Makes This Different

Triple Seven burns approximately 15% hotter than traditional black powder, creating higher pressures and velocities with equivalent volume measurements. The sulfur-free formula eliminates the corrosive salts found in black powder, reducing barrel maintenance requirements. Unlike Pyrodex, Triple Seven ignites reliably with standard percussion caps and flintlock systems without requiring magnum caps.

Key Features

• FFFG granulation optimized for .50 caliber and smaller bore rifles
• Sulfur-free composition prevents corrosive residue formation
• Burns 15% hotter than black powder for increased velocity
• Compatible with percussion cap and flintlock ignition systems
• Produces 48% less solid residue than Pyrodex
• Consistent granule size ensures uniform burn rates
• 1-pound canister provides approximately 140-160 shots for .50 caliber rifles

Field testing demonstrates Triple Seven's superior performance in hunting and target shooting applications. The cleaner burn characteristics reduce shot-to-shot fouling buildup, maintaining accuracy throughout extended shooting sessions. Cold weather reliability exceeds that of Pyrodex, with consistent ignition down to freezing temperatures. The reduced cleaning requirements make it particularly valuable for hunters who need reliable performance in remote locations.
