KIK black powder

[Michael Comer]

Does anyone have experience with this powder? It is billed as a less expensive alternative to Goex.

Sure have...

I still have a can of it left over from getting a big order of it some time back. We/I have used it for Living history/Reenacting as well as live fire.

Now, I can't give you any minute of angle results compared to Goex or Elephant brands when live firing, but it behaved very well in whatever situation We/I use(d) it in.

As far as "cheaper"...I got it in bulk, I remember it cost less, but got it more out of that was what the place we ordered it from had in bulk.

It's the same basic black powder as the other brands. I'd buy more anytime.

Our organization had the chance last year to buy 50 lbs of Kik powder, but none of us had any experience with it. So, I went online to see what was available about it, compared to other brands.

As I recall, it got better reviews than Elephant and Skirmish powders, and was rated as about equal to Goex.

We bought it, doled it out, and I am not aware of any problems with it. I bought five lbs each of 2F and 3F, and both worked fine.

Imported from Slovekia, very decent powder. Mid priced. I am a Schuetzen fan myself. KIK is good enough for the purpose for which we use BP.

Powder Inc. www.powderinc.com When The Watchdog did a survey (test) of various brands of BP which appears in the back of Patrick Reardon's pamphlet called "Making Cartridges".
