Has anyone that used "Shockey's Gold been dissatisfied? What is your favorite load? Your loading procedure? Do you really NOT have to clean the barrel after using this stuff?

  BP forum would be a good place to search
  
  I have not used Shockey's? dont know that i have even heard of it.
  
  I use 777 90gr lose by volume.
  350gr maxi hunter
  win 209 primer
  
  at the range i will shoot the first shot and not worry about where it lands, the barrel will foul a bit. run a spit patch down it, reload and shoot. patching in between each shot if i am developing a load if not i patch about every 3rd-4th shot to keep the groups reasonably tight. @ 100yds open sighted my groups run average about 1 1/2+/- up to 2 1/2 buy the 3 or 4th shot.
  
  If going hunting and the gun has been stored with butter in it for long time i will go to the range a day or two before the hunt and shoot it once, patch it, and load it up for the hunt. that first shot always seems to be a screamer. And a foot high to boot. the only way to duplicate it at the range is completely clean the barrel and butter it up in between every shot.
