I like Olde Eynsford in either 2 or1 1/2.

Same as Don

I use the 2F OE in all my rifles. .40-65 through the .50-2.5 works good in all the 7 calibers I shoot.

2F Old E

I'll be sure and pull Don and Rick's name out of the hat when it comes to the Swiss powder drawing at Nationals this month. I wouldn't want to saddle you guys with some low rent 1.5. ?

Since the spring of '98, many lbs. of 1.5f Swiss I have fired down-range, many times into MOA groups, so I was very pleased. But these days I am interested in O.E. 2f and how it does in a new 45-70 rifle. New rifle, new powder, but the powder guy still has a few lbs. of that reliable 1.5f Swiss, just in case, you know!

[Don McDowell]

It's always good to stick with what you have the faith in.

I'm still on the fence between OE and Swiss.
I just got a new case of 1.5 Swiss 5/11/18 lot to give it another try. The last case shot like Diamondback powder, terrible lot, but I haven't had a chance yet to go through test loads using it but from what little I have shot it it's as good as the 1.5 and 2F OE but the accuracy is not better or worse from what I use so far.
