It's expensive but has a big following... any experiences or thoughts?
Back in 91 the Single Shot Exchange did a comprehensive study
of the leading Black Powders;
The Powders were: Elephant 2F,Schuetzen 2F,Goex 2F, Goex Ctg, Kik 2F and Swiss 1.5F.
To cut a long bunch of testing short, the results were - from zero to Ten [zero being best}
Elephant -9
Kik -8
Schuetzen -5
Goex Ctg -5
Goex 2F -4
Swiss -0
On Schuetzen, the one you're asking about, they said:
"Velocities were good but the extreme spreads were more extreme than
the other powders tested.
It also said that KIK [the powder I use] was the best buy in terms of cost/results.
If you need more info, ask.
Whoops, looked at wrong date. It was a July 2004 issue.
Anybody tried GOEX's Old Eynesford powder yet?
I thought they quit making Schuetzen powder-

Schuetzen is owned by the same company that makes Swiss Black Powder.
Schutetzen is good black powder and is as good as or slightly better than Goex.
