Black Powder poll

[DeadEye]

99% of my shooting is competitive and for the last six years I've been shooting Swiss 1.5 in all three calibers, the 40-65, the 45-70 and the 45-90. I can't honestly say one is better than the other as I have done little or no comparison testing. When I switched to Swiss the big thing then was it's lot to lot consistency. I can't say that holds true anymore as this case I'm using is 3 grains less than the previous case. About that same time I acquired 17 lb. of very inexpensive Goex Express 3F and stumbled upon a very good chicken load so that is what I was using. That is until it ran out at the last match. So now I'm on a quest for a new chicken load and will try some of the Goex 3F I have first. Last summer at the 'Q' I picked up 3 lb. of Olde 'E' but have yet to give it a real test. By the time I got to Craig he only had part of a case left. I tried a bit of it and liked the results but as it's not available here so far it's a bit of a waste developing a load. I'll be there a lot quicker this year.
