Hey guy's I have a slightly different inquerry

[hornetk4]

Hey guy's I have a question for you , I was offered some what I thought was Goex today for 11.00 bucks a pound . I was only way to happy to get it in fact I wished I'd had more cash on me when this oportunity came up . The problem is when the powder was handed to me it was Schuetzen brand powder of I have never seen or used and I don't know anyone that has to ask about it. I went ahead and grabed it but what did I get ? any of you folks ever use it ? I won't have a chance to burn some until tomorrow , I hope I did okay.

You did just fine. Getting any type of BP for $11/lb is a good deal, but Schuetzen is a quality brand. I think it comes from Germany.

That is a really good deal. Buy all you can afford. Some time ago I bought a case of & the Scheutzen I bought performed almost identical to the Goex I have, with just barely a tad less fouling. Hardly a noticable dif. between the two of them. Velocity was very close too.

What the others said. The little bit of Schuetzen I have used was not a lot different from GOEX. I have one friend that uses it exclusivly and does very well at the shoots.

Any type except Elephant! That stuff would be a bad deal at $5 a lb.

Thanx for the response guys I'm going to try to go back and get some more befor it's all gone , I should have had more cash on me the day I got the two pounds 11.00 bucks a pound was such a good price I thought there must be something wrong with it.

The Schuetzen is a good powder which last year was selling at the same price as Goex ( at Friendship ) Schuetzen burns about 15 percent hotter than Goex of the same granulation. I use it in my reproduction Ferguson Rifle which has a short powder chamber. 55 grains of Goex sounds like a musket going off. 55 grains of Schuetzen
sounds like a rifle!!! Should Goex get much higher
in price than Schuetzen I would switch powders in a heartbeat. ( after I shot up all my Goex! )
Schuetzen is good powder!
:thumbsup:

Yes, Schuetzen is a good powder, made in Germany by Wano. It's just labeled differently here. Graf's also sells it under their label.
