The only BP I have on hand is Swiss and that never measures correct by volume in an American measure. One of my boys may have some Goex but it is probably older than dirt. He hasn't pulled his sidelock smoke pole out in a while now other than for inspection and cleaning/oiling.
You can not even get real Black around here.
I am inclined to believe that the U-view was designed for the modern subs and +-1 grain is top notch for me.[ 69-71 Blackhorn]
I used Black for many years 4 or 5 different kinds with different grain sizes and different energy levels I much doubt there is a measure that will give reasonable accuracy with them all.
