Black Powder poll

[Don McDowell]

99% of my shooting is competitive and for the last six years I've been shooting Swiss 1.5 in all three calibers, the 40-65, the 45-70 and the 45-90. I can't honestly say one is better than the other as I have done little or no comparison testing. When I switched to Swiss the big thing then was it's lot to lot consistency. I can't say that holds true anymore as this case I'm using is 3 grains less than the previous case. About that same time I acquired 17 lb. of very inexpensive Goex Express 3F and stumbled upon a very good chicken load so that is what I was using. That is until it ran out at the last match. So now I'm on a quest for a new chicken load and will try some of the Goex 3F I have first. Last summer at the 'Q' I picked up 3 lb. of Olde 'E' but have yet to give it a real test. By the time I got to Craig he only had part of a case left. I tried a bit of it and liked the results but as it's not available here so far it's a bit of a waste developing a load. I'll be there a lot quicker this year.

Paul call Craig well ahead of the Q, and tell him what you want. Then you don't have to worry about the crowd getting to him first.
Last time I visited with him he had some bags of 2f express.
