Grafs powder

[Tannehill]

When Goex was unavailable I bought some Grafs 3f. It is apparently made by Wano. It seems to pack a bit more punch and I have found it is much dirtier that Goex. Am I wrong?

I used 70 grains 3f in my .50 rifles and 50 grains 3f in my .45 rifles. My poi seems to have shifted. Wondering if I should try lighter loads??

The Wano (Schuetzen) has been reported to produce a fair amount of fouling. @Tannehill is not wrong.

And when GOEX became available again, the Graf's powder was being supplied by GOEX.

Now that the GOEX plant has been shut down due to a fire, maybe the Graf's powder will be Wano (Schuetzen).

Now then, you may have to adjust the powder charge to make that work with your sight set up. I don't recommend filing sights.

Grenadier, you say the Goex has been shut down due to fire. Is that recent? I just bought some "new" Goex after the last unscheduled rapid disassembly.

I hope they haven't gone orbital yet again.

Probably climate related, but Schutzen/Grafs fouls less than GOEX for me.

Most likely. That's why so many of us have different ways of doing things. What works in a warm damp climate usually doesn't work here in the cold dry west, and vice versa.

Grafs is repackaged Schuetzen and a couple of bucks cheaper. Have shot plenty of it and is very good powder.
