I've honestly never used anything but Goex over the years, never even tried any BP substitutes, was almost going to order some Hodgden 777, but before I did I called a old Gunshop I used to work at to see if they still carried powder and they did. Although they were out of the Goex FFFg, they had this Schuetzen stuff. I also managed to get some of the ever elusive Remington #10 caps The salesman was saying Goex is closing down....first I've heard of that, then again I'm kinda out of the loop on these things nowadays.
