I've had poor experience with Elephant...delayed ignition and terrible fouling...read many posts from others where the lot-to-lot variance in quality make buying it a manure shoot (no pun itended).
Switched to Goex FFFg and it's perfect...fast, clean and relatively inexpensive...been with it ever since;
You can order it by the can(s) from Graf & Sons in Missouri, or get an outstanding case price from Goex Master Distributor J&J Pyrotechnics in PA, delivered to your door for about $8.80/lb.

I just joined this forum and regret a delay in commenting on powder. I've tried GOEX, KIK, Elephant, Swiss, Chinese, and Schuetzen (Wano import). I would never waste anymore money on KIK or the Chinese stuff. The best I have found is the Swiss powder but it is very expensive. GOEX is fine but about $10+ a pound (here in CO). Schuetzen is a very good powder but again about $10 a pound. I get excellent results with Elephant and get it delivered for $7.50 a pound from Redmond powder in Illinois. I've been using Elephant for about 10 years now and no complaints. We just ordered some powder from Graf & Sons in Missouri that is from Wano but with Graf & Sons label. I'll post test results on it when I get a chance to run some test.
