Alliant Black MZ
Alliant Black MZ is a black powder replacement designed for hunters, Cowboy Action shooters, and re-enactors that works in all black powder firearms. Black MZ, which is moisture resistant and virtually non-corrosive, replicates black powder performance without the ignition issues and cleaning hassles associated with traditional black powder use. Because it is moisture resistant, Black MZ provides dependable ignition in all weather conditions. Black MZ burns cleaner, leaving less residue and making cleaning easier, and it offers higher velocities at lower pressures.
Important Information:
- Do not exceed the loads displayed in the reloaders guide.
- Never mix any two powders regardless of type, brand, or source.
- Never substitute any smokeless powder for Black Powder or any Black Powder substitute.

I reload a few Handgun cartridges (45 Long colt, 357 mags, 44 special.) this powder works great. I even started using this in my black powder rifles, Easier to get, Clean up is a lot easier, Just miss the Rotten egg smell.

I hung up my lil Knight Wolverine appx 12yrs ago when I bought a smokeless Savage ML10ii. The last Nov my youngest son (16) decided he wanted to hunt opening day of mzldr here in TN. He took a 152″ 13pt with my Savage & is HOOKED on front stuffers now! Rather than having to buy a new rifle I decided to “un-retire” my lil ol Wolverine. It didn’t like White Hots, Shockey Gold sticks were “ok” but I knew something better couldve found. BH 209 is NOT recommended in plunger type action guns like the Wolvie so my research lead me to this BlackMZ. WOW am I glad I tried this, it cleans up with simple patches wetted with Windex-Vinegar & makes shooting the Wolverine nearly as trouble free as my Savage. For ignition I used some T7 209s I had left over & ignition is thorough & complete! (90grns under a Barnes 250 Expander MZ) NO crud rings or residue & I assured firm seating as recommended. I was even shooting in in high 80s temps during sprinkles & drizzling rain so those are about THE WORST conditions for testing mzldrs. When done I cleaned the bore with 2 patches of Win-Vin, shot some brake cleaner in the bore, more brake cleaner on a patch & found that patch unnecessary as it came out SPOTLESS! I ran a patch with CLM thru the bore & left the gun overnight. 24hrs later I ran a dry patch thru to see what, if anything had developed. The ONLY thing that came out on that patch was the CLM! I then purposefully left the bore dry & let it sit for a week now! I ran a clean patch thru the bore yesterday & it was still SPOTLESS!!! I’m SOLD on this powder & I’m actually happy to once again tote my lightweight, short & quick lil Wolverine into the woods knowing I don’t have to tear it down & make a miserable mess every night. “2 THUMBS UP!”
