Graf's labeled powder

Either it is new or it got by me but on Graf's website they offer their own brand of BP.
Has anyone used their "house" brand and if so, is there any noticeable difference compared to any other brand?

Biggest difference is that it is available and other powders are not.

And the price.

I have used it before. If I remember right, it was rebranded Wano powder. I've just used it for casual plinking and it worked fine for that. Used it in C&B revolvers 36 cal and a few rifles. Wouldn't hesitate to get more of it.

Curious as to what is your price limit for unobtainable powder, say Goex, that you will pay?

Back in 2006 , some of us got together and bought a case of Graf labeled powder and split the case between us. There wasn't any complaint from any of us , about performance. Think the price difference between Graf's and local bought Goex , was about $8 per pound. Was worth buying the Graf's.

Might have to try some of their store brand. Saw they were out Swiss.

Unobtainable is the operative word.

All, Not long ago, Graff & Sons' BP was made by Wano, more recently by GOEX (I peeled the label off one of the "cans" and that' what it said. Both have worked very well for me, but I think I'd give a slightly higher mark to the Graff/GOEX brand.

Graf's powder is now made by Schuetzen. Wano is involved in the company.

I’m not super fussy about powder. I’m guessing our ancestors didn’t get to choose brands, just granulation.

If anyone here hasn't checked lately, for a couple weeks now Grafs has different types of Schuetzen, Grafs, and even one grind of Swiss (1.5 fG) in stock. I think it's $24 hazmat per order plus $13 shipping. I got some delivered a couple days ago, took about a week to come (Fedex).

GOEX factory was purchased a year ago by Estes (who make those popular toy rocket engines). ESTES press release:
" Estes Energetics plans to continue this legacy of high-quality American made black powder, bringing innovation and full-spectrum engineering capability to fortify safety and quality."

We just shot a pound of fresh graf's FFg the last weekend. It worked fine in 20 gauge, 54 and 50. The smoke cloud looked just goex smoke to me.
