It's not exactly the same, but watch for the AT 24/60 F61-FJ-10 coming soon from a standards testing body near you.

The use of zinc lowers the average cost of the propellant and increases the density impulse too. It is an offset to target an ISP as well. I think original smokey sam was about 20% + zinc. I think this Estes motor had closer to <10%.

In addition to the other nice things I have said about the F62 Darkstar, it also had the most precise and consistent total impulse of any model rocket motor ever made. Probably HPR too, despite the scaling advantages.
