Martin: Seems I heard this may be a successor to Elephant. Might do a search on one of the ML sites.

Well, I am surely full o' the wind, as I can't find any link between Imbel and Elephant ...

Thank for yuor answers.
I get soem information,
It is not Elefant powder, Imbel made his own powder, they also made M1911 and FAL clones.
I get mixed reports. Only one user (now living in Germany), he use it for his BP shotgun and it works. One argentine seller told me it was very bad.
So I really do not know.
I will get some and try it, so I can report results.
