Has anyone had a chance to test this new powder...from what I have read it has an addative that removes copper fouling as you shoot...

While I have not used this powder, my guess is that, during combustion in the barrel, the powder may produce a small amount of ammonia gas, which under pressure and the heat generated by it, may chemically react with copper fouling, removing a minute amount with each shot. Whether it really works or not, it's hard to tell, since I've been unable to come up with any test reports.

It could very well be a marketing claim, to get people to buy the powder.

I just recently read about this powder as well. It appears to have been developed for the military since they probably don't have time to scour the barrel free of fouling every 10 shots or even a couple hundred. The images I saw showed what appeared to be a cleaner barrel that we already fouled after shooting more ammo through it with this powder. It would be a mighty big claim for just marketing but I put nothing by those people so no telling.

It is available from what I hear and burns in the Varget speed range IIRC. I would be interested in finding out more or getting a pound to test out even thought I am not that much of a barrel cleaning freak.

Probably includes a cleaning rod and some Sweets with every canister
