Supposedly its non-corrosive. Which is why I'm real interested. Has anyone tried it?

Blackhorn 209 - Nitrocellulose based?

Apparently Western Powder has managed to create what amounts to a bulk "smokeless powder" with some potassium nitrate and sulfur added. According to the article, Western Powder also no longer claims Blackhorn 209 is non-corrosive.
