Goex is a good consistent black powder. Its no where near as clean burning as swiss or their orher BP olde eyensford , but it is consistent.
Yes, Goex is not "bad". It seemed to me, just my impression, that Goex improved in quality over the years. I've shot a lot of Swiss, went through a whole case of it once, it really is top quality. Clean and powerful, worth the price.
I recently bought a bunch of Schuetzen, (and Swiss) 4fg for my pistols and 1fg for my musket. The musket has a big appetite and I didn't think using Swiss would be of much advantage. I have not tried the 1fg yet, but did fire off a pistol with the 4fg. It was fine, but noticeably more fouling, and just judging from the recoil, was actually "softer" shooting than an equal charge of Swiss 2fg. I found that interesting, I would expect any 4fg to pop off harder than an equal charge of any 2fg.
