Express v. regular GOEX?

[SimonKenton]

Is there any diff? The blurb claims that it's softer fouling than the basic GOEX and more consistent from shot to shot. Any real world results?

I've heard it's about like Swiss BP. Higher velocities, less fouling. Supposed to be their premium stuff.
IMO, using regular 3f Goex will do the same thing.

Is it? Well ya mightwant to read what Goex had on the Goex site a while back it may still be up. They spent years finding ( I should say TRY"ED) to find a tree that would make charcoal like the old Curt and Harvey's #6, the best of the best for years. It's mainly made for BPCR shooting, but works well in ML's at least all 30 somethng of mine. Just for kicks I got 2 cans of 2 + 3 f and used it in my Vol 451 out to 1000 yards and you could take 2 lines ( about 20" ) at the 500 yard line vs 3 f Goex SOOOOO ya it's a much better powder, IF thats a big if your shooting for bucks (cash not meat) or comp shooting becuse of the price. OH I'll add that in my one CVA flint lock thats a a$$ to get to flash but has really fast lock time that it works great (even 2f in the pan goes right off first spark so go figure..... :grin: Fred :hatsoff:

I use it exclusively for hunting, I have found that on average my groups shrink an inch at 100 yrds shooting RB.
I have found it to be quite a bit more consistent than regular Goex but for the price I'll stick to the regular for all around off hand shooting purposes.
Bench rest it the ticket.

isn't Express a 2F grade (size)? so it would do well in .45 cal and over.

It's available in 1, 2 and 3F. I haven't had the chance to try it yet, but if it works as good as Swiss, I'd buy it.
