So I have three black powder firearms. A 36 caliber Spiller and Burr replica, a 9-inch 54 cal pistol Lyman Plans pistol, and a Thompson Center Big-Boar 58 Cal. For the pistol I have always use Goex FFFg in the revolver, and Goex FFg in the 58 rifle. I have used both FFg and FFFg in the 54 cal pistol though it seems to like the FFFg over the FFg.
So this past weekend was the opening of muzzle loader season and I came to realize I am basically out of FFg. I have enough for 14 rds which will hopefully get me through the short hunting season unless next weekend goes extraordinarily bad or good.
So none-the-less I need to order some black powder and figured I would ask if there is any good reason to move away from my tried and true Goex brand. I have used Goex for years and its always worked well but there are a lot of members here that are more knowledgeable/experience with black-powder than myself and though it could not hurt to ask for opinions. I will likely have to order it online as none of the local big box and LGS seem to carry real black powder of any brand. I will probably put together a larger Powder Valley order together since I need some smokeless powder too.
Any suggestion or advice is very apricated.
