Is Graf's branded powder the same as Schuetzen?

They are both supposed to be WANO powder.

I can't guarantee they are the same, but I doubt WANO makes custom powders for two different importers. Grafs might be cheaper because they've cut out the distributor, Schuetzen. That or maybe the importer is just giving them a bulk discount.

As above Wano is technically the producer but yes it is Schuetzen powder. They have bounced back and forth between Schuetzen and GOEX for the house label that I have seen. All of my Grafs is GOEX which is what they were selling until GOEX shut down a few years ago. Who knows what they will be selling in a year or two now that GOEX is back up and running.
Either way they sell good powder.

I hope they switch back to Goex! The last blue label stuff they sold works great.
I have the Graf's 3 F i have started shooting. It's bad on dirty & caking up in couple shots. I won't let it get close to my rock sparkers. If Schuetzen is like this now, i won't buy anymore of it
I have Graf’s 2f powder, I use in 20ga trade gun with good results.
Maybe you got a bad batch

It's fast on ignition so that's not a problem. I used to b*tch about Goex being dirty, but this Graf's makes Goex look good.
All black powders are
dirty and require thorough cleaning.
I fired 20 rounds last night, no cleaning between, using Schuetzen 3F and the load slid down as easily at 20 as it did at 1. Cleaning was no different than any other powder, including the synthetic, fake stuff I burn in some of my cappers. Took me 25 patches and 35 minutes. Same as all my rifles.
Yes sir but some are terrible with the caking in the groove for several inches above the powder column. It got so bad i had a terrible time getting the 4th conical seated. Without my range rod it would have been a wood pounder
Well my rifle likes the 3 F Swiss much better. So i shall use the Graf's in my .54 & see if it likes it or not.
