Take 2 or 3 gallon milk jugs full of water. Set them in line at your max hunting range, about 75 to 100 yards. Load up your accurate hunting load and shoot at the bottles. If the bullet makes it into the third jug, that load will put down an elk.
Oleschool you are the man off hand wow that’s some nice shooting .As far as the difference between 2f and 3f is about 10 grains in my 54 hawken 32” barrel .i shoot goex, in Kibler woods runner or anythingView attachment 349958View attachment 349960 else i see no difference. here is a photo of it lighting, it gets hot. this was 2f in a TVM 54 cal. the 3 shot group i shot offhand at 50yds same powder ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
And when your feeling frisky try 4F in appropriate amounts ,another old wife's ( tail ) is going down too . Can't say the same for a2Fg in calibers over .50 was the gospel for many years. However, with experience, we (well....most of us) learned that 3fg is just fine. But you must adjust charges to get your new 'sweet spot' accuracy.
That's what I've seen in my .50 over the years too. Less fouling with 3fOleschool you are the man off hand wow that’s some nice shooting .As far as the difference between 2f and 3f is about 10 grains in my 54 hawken 32” barrel .
It's a larger granulation than Swiss 2f but not sure about other brands though. I tried it in my .54 against 2f Swiss and the recoil and velocity was noticeably less and the accuracy was also less in my gun. I'll use it in my black powder cartridge guns. Just my experience though.Anyone have any experience with Swiss 1.5? I’ve heard it’s essentially the same granulation as the 2F offered by other manufacturers.

But what if it's flavored water?Take 2 or 3 gallon milk jugs full of water. Set them in line at your max hunting range, about 75 to 100 yards. Load up your accurate hunting load and shoot at the bottles. If the bullet makes it into the third jug, that load will put down an elk.
Impressive!FWIW yesterday I put 10-shots over the new Garmin Xero chronograph of a 54-cal using 80-grns 3Fg Schuetzen powdah and got a Standard Deviation of only 7.3!
That is an incredibly statistical LOW value, which translates to consistency!
From the bench it was a one ragged hole group @ 50-yards ... offhand not so much!
