KIK brand powder

[William O.]

I have a friend that got a pound of KIK brand powder at a blanket shoot, anyone have an opinion or experience with this type? Tried searching for "KIK" but didn't get any results.

There has been several KIK threads in the past, not sure why they don't show in a search. But the consensus is it is a very good powder. :thumbsup:

Okay, that's enough for me to pass along. Don't know why there were no results but software ain't my thing.

Pretty sure people who tried it were putting it behind Swiss but ahead of Goex and Wano on the scale. :thumbsup:

It works fine in my smoothbores I have not tried it in my rifle guns yet. I can get KIK powder near my house for $13.41 a pound. That is an incentive for me to use it.

Wow, that is cheap! I have to order 25 pounds of Goex to aproach that price.

I'd bet a 25 pound order of KIK would be a great deal, then. It is still imported, isn't it?

There's a four character minimum to search. "kik powder" would work. (don't forget the quotes)

I don't know where KIK is made, is it imported?

 

[rabjr]

KiK is made in Slovenia I believe and is/was imported and distributed by Goex.

Ah, learn something new every day.

KIK is a darn good powder. Maybe not technically as good as Swiss, but it doesn't have the same price tag either. It burns a little cleaner than Goex and shot to shot velocity is a little more consistent.

I won some kik a few years back . Since I found it to be at least as clean burning as Goex and cheaper I did some serious testing and found that I actually had less deviation shot to shot on velocity than I did with Goex. So I ordered a case and hve been shooting it for over a year with good results. ( The fact that I cann't shoot accurately anymore has nothing to do with the powder. Just old eyes, and a torn up right hand . ) I heard that the company that made it went bankrupt and what is over here is probably the last that cross the pond. ) :hmm: :hmm:

Yeah, I remember reading that also. Will have to get an order together before it is gone.

I got my last case from Powder Inc. They screwed up the order the first time and straightened it out at their expense right away. Good people to deal with. :hmm:

Tests between KIK, Goex, and Elephant.

We needed to put together a powder order and after giving it some thought, I ended up ordering some KIK after hearing good reviews of it. Should be in next week and I can't wait to get some range time in with it. :thumbsup:

 

[ohio ramrod]

You should be happy with it. The only complaint I have about it is it isn't MADE IN USA.I believe we need another U.S. maker of black. But I realise that with the curent legal situation that isn't likely to happen. To many law suits and not enough demand.

Went outside to find my order on the porch. I got 5 lbs of 3F and 4 lbs of 2F and for the first time since shooting bp, 1 can of 4F to try for the hell of it. :thumbsup:
