3F Instead of 2F

Interesting - I might have to try that if the rifle I am eyeing comes through. I have a pound of Pyrodex P laying about doing nothing, but that would be last choice well after the OE.

Disregard - the guy I was buying it from sold it out from under me.

Yes to my surprise..well I thought wth...with... did all this grease come from haha .the very first time I fire's my flintlock. Cleaned it all off. Then it would not shoot . Blah blah, took to gun shop. He laughed an explanation followed. Took it home. Bang. Good to go. Been loving it since. Cleaner you say? I doubt but I suppose next time I get up to where I found it I can ask if any remains. Can one have much powder?

Olde E is definitely cleaner. I can shoot a 5 stage match with a 32-20 rifle and lyman 311008 with still good accuracy and can't with anything else other than Swiss. Those small bores with limited capacity lube bullets are the test. You may or may not notice any difference in your application and I use the cheaper powders in most of the larger bore stuff or when I've got more lube just because it doesn't really matter. Where it matter though it makes a difference. The top long range shooters aren't using Olde E and Swiss for no reason.
