I would call them but I'm in FL now and won't be back until May. Then I'll see if I can get it. I just asked the question to see if anyone knew. I can drive to Shyda's easy enough.

I'll call them in the morning for you and ask if and how much. Want me to call Shirks too?
|
No distributors for Swiss in PA at all actually. And I didn't think about this until just now and Shyda's is already closed. That's about retarded, closing at 5 on a Saturday? I don't remember them closing that early. Anywho, if you want to try it out, about the best deal online is with Powder Inc at $138.75 for a 5 pounder. Minimum you can order. Free shipping. https://powderinc.com/product/schuet...-black-powder/ I know a 5 pounder sounds like a lot, but I can guarantee you will love the stuff. And you shoot a good bit so it will go pretty quick. I use the 2F myself but I don't shoot anything bigger than a .50. You may want 3F for your .58's but I'll let someone who knows for sure guide you on that one.

Swiss 2F is almost 3F in Goex. They use a different system to measure the kernels.

I agree with you on the smaller grain size with Swiss. What I would like to know is if Olde Eynsford powder granules are small like Swiss powder. I know you've purchased it in the past and my nearest Michigan supplier (50 miles away) sells Olde Eynsford FF, but not FFF. Just curious! I use Goex FFF currently and it's a perfect size for my sidehammer. |
It's been awhile since I tried OE and can't remember how it compared to regular Goex.
Jon has used it recently and should know. |

Dixon's near Hamburg PA sells it. |
Thanks Ed - I've been planning on taking a run down there anyway. It's been a while since I've been there. Neat place.
Thanks to you too SH54 for the research. |
