I use the 2F OE in all my rifles. .40-65 through the .50-2.5 works good in all the 7 calibers I shoot.

I'll be sure and pull Don and Rick's name out of the hat when it comes to the Swiss powder drawing at Nationals this month. I wouldn't want to saddle you guys with some low rent 1.5. ?

Since the spring of '98, many lbs. of 1.5f Swiss I have fired down-range, many times into MOA groups, so I was very pleased. But these days I am interested in O.E. 2f and how it does in a new 45-70 rifle. New rifle, new powder, but the powder guy still has a few lbs. of that reliable 1.5f Swiss, just in case, you know!

It's always good to stick with what you have the faith in.

I'm still on the fence between OE and Swiss.
I just got a new case of 1.5 Swiss 5/11/18 lot to give it another try. The last case shot like Diamondback powder, terrible lot, but I haven't had a chance yet to go through test loads using it but from what little I have shot it it's as good as the 1.5 and 2F OE but the accuracy is not better or worse from what I use so far.
