I have not gotten into black powder due to a breathing problem but I decided I need to at least try it. I have two nice 43 Mausers and I read that this Alliant Black MZ is not corrosive so I was wondering if it worked as well as the other BP alternatives? I requested info from Alliant Powers about loading my 43 Mauser cartridges and until that information comes I figured I'd ask here if the stuff was OK or not, is it actually non-corrosive and does it create the smoke like the other BP alternatives?
