As I think about ordering some more Swiss powder, wonder should I get FFg, "1-1/2F" or Fg, for my .40, .45 and .54 rifles?
I understand that Swiss is faster than GOEX or the anitquated du Pont I still use. Apparently Swiss is like a 19th century round ball powder, late 20th century du Pont and GOEX burn slower, appropriate to cartridge guns or ml's using an elongated bullet.
In the old days, Ned Roberts wrote about using Fg, just plain One F, in a .36 cal rifle. I suppose it was shooting picket balls (sugar loaf, elongated bullets) rather than round balls.
These days I hear about loads with FFg or FFFg, but NEVER Fg unless it is a crew-served weapon. With respect, some modern loads seem regarded as unsatisfactory unless they will shoot lengthwise through a buffalo. Useful for you Western guys, but we anin't got none (wild) in Michigan.
All I want to kill is paper & steel targets.
My question is--
Has anyone done a good comparison regarding accuracy versus granulation, in a specific powder brand?
