Keep us posted when you get some testing done. Inquiring minds need to know.

I know testing this time of year a person has to wait on mother nature to cooperate. So when you get some and give it a look, give us a visual report compared to swiss, kik, and others.

RE: Old E
Don.
This powder has to really be good before I switch again.
When the exp powder and the cartridge was discontinued I gathered up all the powder that is available and did some serious shooting to see what worked best. The Swiss and KIK won out in the end and the final results was KIK because when the barrel or weather got hot the fouling got out of control using the swiss unless I wiped the bore between every shot, the blow tube would not work with the swiss. besides the extra cost of the Swiss over KIK also is a factor for me as much as I shoot.
Dick Savage just shot a 5 shot group with his Hepburn using 2F KIK and shot a 5 shot group that yielded a 1/2" nice round group and I have shot several 10 shot + groups with the .44-90 bn and the new .44-100 ST that were 1-3/4 and less at 200 yards.
It will be tough to get me to switch. But I will get some.
