Has anyone tried the new Cleanshot pellets for muzzleloading.  I would like to know if it gives the same results as Pyrodex pellets.  Thanks.

I talked to a friend with Clean Shot pellets at my range this fall. They worked fine, according to him, but one complaint. The Cleanshot pellets were packaged loosely in a plastic bottle (just like loose powder). This allowed quite a bit of rounding off of the pellet edges, which might reduce some consistency of the powder charge between loadings. This is a stark contrast to the carefully packaged Pyrodex pellets.

If they were to change packaging, I would probably give it a try.

Evidently, Hodgdon (the maker of Pyrodex) has sued Cleanshot for patent infringement and forced them to pull the pelletized Cleanshot from the market (bummer).  So I guess it's a moot point now as no suppliers have any available stock of the .50cal 50gr. pellets.  Okay, so here's one for you Cleanshot - make a single long pellet (approx. 100, 120, or 150 grains worth) and call it a powder "column" to satisfy the trial lawyers.  Then send me a percentage of your profits :)
