Distance may be a factor too and the the amount of powder.

What size groups have you been able to produce with this powder at fifty yards from a bench in a patched roundball rifle ?

Powder is as good as one can shoot

I love the Graf powder and it's the only brand I buy anymore. I must have at least 25 lbs. laying around here...

I assume your answer is yes to the original question ?

I'm happy the powder is working for you, but that does not answer my question . ls Graf powder capable of producing five shot one ragged hole groups at fifty yards from the bench in patched roundball rifles ?

I never used Graf's powder. It's made by Goex for them. I'm sure it's a good economical choice over the more expensive brands like Swiss or Old Ensyford.
The choice of powder is only one part of the equation.
Choice of ball, patch, condition of the rifle, shooters ability. Environmental factors, all come into play.
So, I guess I can't answer your question.
You would have to discover that for yourself.

This.^^
The more important question is do you have the ability to find said combination and deliver it accurately?
I'm not. I just enjoy shooting my best.

Basically what can a guy tell you ?? The powder is good.....Don't know if you are good enough to shoot those kind of groups....Don't know if your firearm, balls, patches, barrel twist and whatever is capable.

Saying Graf is good powder tells me nothing ! Whats good to you may not be good to me . Some people think 2, 3 ,4&5" groups at 50 yds is good accuracy....l don't. What I'm looking for is answers from serious shooters who have done SERIOUS testing with this powder.

Any shooter any where can attest to shooters that blame everything but the trigger man(person) on poor accuracy.

Sorry, there roundball, I have been attempting to seriously participate in the shooting sports of gun powder for 50 years.
