It'll take a helluva BP substitute to break me off of Goex FFg, but I've a fairly open mind....grins.

Heard a buddy tell it's "extruded", almost like a smokeless powder, with little cylindrical shaped granules...can I assume the granules are all the same size?

In a word, YES

Wanna know how it weighs vs. volume measure, as I've NEVER been a huge fan of volume measuring BP, and I'm not fishing for the "conversion" factor either......
According to the people who make it 70 gr wt is equal to 100gr of FF black in volume

FFg has a very consistant weigh:volume ratio making seating pressure/compression very doable per repeatability/consistancy....other subs I've tried do not have this critical attribute and I've often found a varience inload compression with some of them.

You just stated the reasons BH is better than the other subs

I hear clean up is a snap with BH209, and can like that, if easier than what I do with BP...which is pretty easy considering a lot of folks think BP is somehow "hard".

The only one I consider as hard is 777, it might beconsidered "easy" because it is noncorrosive and you can use hoppes # 9 and do it in a half doz patches; what the real differance is is that it shoots best if not wiped between shot not even a lot of shots.

Basic question, is this stuff a smoke producingtype BP sub with all the characteristics of BP...or is it an extruded low pressure "smokeless" type stuff with maybe a little bit of smoke, or non at all?

Yes it smokes, the smoke is a bit lighter in the sense that it blows away in a breeze faster.

Maybe a dumb question but I've got my reasons............
