sorry to the OP for the slight jack 8)

Dont worry about jacking the thread. Tod's a Ford guy and there is just no hope for him to appreciate such a fine classic as yours..... ;D Thank you for sharing pix of that schweet ride..

I believe the graphite is added to the outside of the powder to help make the burn rate more uniform across different conditions.

I don't think that is "fouling" you are seeing with the R-15. It is an anti copper fouling agent added to Alliant Powders. R-10x does the same thing. It's black but it's not carbon (I have read).

my 6br barrel would disagree with that... I get a carbon ring in the throat if I don't scrub the hell out of it when using RL15. I know guys that choose not to use RL15 becasue of that. Any powder will create a carbon ring if your cleaning procedure isn't sufficient, but it shows up A LOT faster with RL15. That's my experience anyway...

Hmm... Not experienced that. Just a lot of black goop... If it's carbon it comes out fast...
