Grafs powder

Tannehill · Oct 31, 2024

When Goex was unavailable I bought some Grafs 3f. It is apparently made by Wano. It seems to pack a bit more punch and I have found it is much dirtier that Goex. Am I wrong?

I used 70 grains 3f in my .50 rifles and 50 grains 3f in my .45 rifles. My poi seems to have shifted. Wondering if I should try lighter loads??

The Wano (Schuetzen) has been reported to produce a fair amount of fouling. @Tannehill is not wrong.

And when GOEX became available again, the Graf's powder was being supplied by GOEX.

Now that the GOEX plant has been shut down due to a fire, maybe the Graf's powder will be Wano (Schuetzen).

Now then, you may have to adjust the powder charge to make that work with your sight set up. I don't recommend filing sights.

Grenadier, you say the Goex has been shut down due to fire. Is that recent? I just bought some "new" Goex after the last unscheduled rapid disassembly.

I hope they haven't gone orbital yet again.

The Louisiana State Police has confirmed an explosion at the Goex factory located at Camp Minden early Wednesday morning.
Louisiana State Police Public Information Officer Eddie Thomas said an employee of the factory called the Hazardous Materials Hotline around 7 a.m. Wednesday. The incident required an evacuation of the facility but there were no injuries.
According to Thomas there is no indication of any threat to the public and the incident was contained within the facility. Louisiana State Police is in charge of the investigation.

Probably climate related, but Schutzen/Grafs fouls less than GOEX for me.

Most likely. That's why so many of us have different ways of doing things. What works in a warm damp climate usually doesn't work here in the cold dry west, and vice versa.

Grafs is repackaged Schuetzen and a couple of bucks cheaper. Have shot plenty of it and is very good powder.
