I think Swiss #4 is Swiss 1.5
What Caliber and bullet does he use?
Maybe it would be best they ship the bullets over.
Hope you make it out. If not, give us a heads up we'll find a way to get them shooting

In Europe Swiss powders are given numbers.

Swiss #1 = FFFFg
Swiss #2 = FFFg
Swiss #3 = FFg
Swiss #4 = 1.5Fg
Swiss #5 = Fg

Whatever a shooters favourite powder is, I would suggest developing loads also using Swiss powders for when travelling. Swiss seems to be the most widely available. Goex for example is not available here in the UK to my knowledge.

most reliably available

It's a .45-110 and he shoots a 560 gr torpedo Smile

David on the powder availability is KIK available over there?

I had an idea that KIK was available, but can't now find reference to it. The main importer of black powder into the UK is Peter Starley: www.black-powder.co.uk/bp.htm
