It is a little dirtier to shoot than Goex. It is as powerful or maybe a touch more so. Close enough that no sight changes were needed. It is consistant and pretty accurate. It ignites well. The manufacturer is listed as Shuetzen on the back of the bottle. If you wipe between shots, you will like it. If you don't, you may not. I would say that the 3f Graf's is about as dirty as 2f Goex. I killed two deer with 70 grain loads year before last using it. Both shots were shoot thrus and one of them was at 60 yards on a big bodied buck. I have not bought any powder for some time since I won a bunch at shoots last year. If the Graf's and Son's was all I could get, I would buy it with no qualms about it. Supposedly, Graf's also carries Swiss at a couple of bucks more than their private label. If I buy from them, that is what I will try next. The closest outlet for me has both Goex and Graf's right now for pretty much the same price. Given that choice, I usually pick Goex. According to that outlet, the Goex company is getting very hard to deal with for most folks and they are looking to replace the Goex completely. I am not involved, but if Goex is making venders mad, a lot of folks are just going to stop carrying black at all. At least the local store is getting Graf's in also. I liked the can I shot well enough that I would not miss Goex much.
