I don't think calcium hypochlorite will be a powerful enough oxidiser, but feel free to try it and tell us the results.
(sorry I couldn't be more help)

Are you using 100% CaClO or are you using HTH(60% CaClO)?

Be very careful testing calcium hypochlorite mixtures. They tend to spontaneously ignite.
Many chemicals have the warning on them powerful oxidizer, do not mix or store with combustible stuff.

This one means it.

If stored in a refrigerator the chlorine it emits is highly reactive, and will eat up just about any corrodeable metals.

Mix with sulfur goes in few minutes. Lesser fuels it can go hours days weeks later.

Not a good choice except for certain mixes you have perfected WITH THE EXACT CHEMICAL you have. They all vary a lot as to what's in them besides the main ingredient.

Moisture presence causes speed up in going.

it tends to absorb humidity and decompose.

Well then it could have its own special place; as a chemical dely(ie.CaClO/Glycerine).
