Cleanest Burning Powder?

[nkbj]

Have you found a grain size and brand to produce less fouling?

I have found 3f Old Eynsford powder to burn cleaner than Goex. I understand it is because they use alder wood for the charcoal portion of the black powder mix which burns much hotter than the poplar wood used in goex.

Old Eynsford or Swiss in 3fg grade powder.

Other than Holy Black I'd say Black MZ is the cleanest I have ever shot. When sighting in my investarms .58 hawking like rifle for elk season I never Swiped or cleaned and shot 20-30 times an outing.

Elk season sucked BTW, full moon, forest service elected o do "prescribed burns" all over my unit then the joys of Hurricane Rosa. I had 1.5 days of "huntable" weather and saw one HUGE bull and heard a bull and some cows about 30 yds away. The elk have moved into the terrain described i all hunting articles, steep, thick hard core....

Swiss or Schuetzen. Schuetzen in 2 or 3Fg shoots the same as Goex but cleans up in 1/3rd to 1/2 as much time and as many patches!
