    Jim,

    Judge Angelo's powder has been in wide use within the Blue Gray Alliance since it was formed three years ago and his cannon powder is issued in lieu of a cash bounty at many of our events.

    For some infantry units that arranged with Jack's Powder Keg a 'resupply' by wagon during the course of Shiloh, the rolled rounds purchased were made from his battle powder. He travels to events with a good sized powder magazine

    I ran the Army of the Ohio ammo resupply at Shiloh. Haven't heard of any problems with the powder yet.

    Thanks for the replys. I have never seen this powder before. I usually pick up my Goex at the NSSA nationals.

    I've used it for awhile now, and so far, no problems. Works just as well in my Henry as it does in my Enfield. Good stuff

    After using my initial can up I found no major problems except that it seems to leave a little more ash in the barrel than FFF or FF Goex.

    I've spoke with him several times at events and he says he gets his powder from the same company that produces Goex powder and that the only difference between his powder and Goex powder is the color of the can.

    I usually purchase several pounds from him every time I see him. It makes the same sound when you pull the trigger.
