I use 3fg powder in my Kibler SMR and get pretty good accuracy… I’ve been using Goex for the past 2 years that I’d bought in the early 90s, but I recently shot up the last of it. I’ve switched to Swiss 3fg that I bought before Goex came back on the market.
Due to the local high humidity, after I make a shot, I close the frizzen to prevent a wet, gummy coating from forming in the frizzen pan. With the Goex, I’d oftentimes get a little powder in the frizzen pan when I rammed the ball. With the Swiss, I’ve noticed I get a lot of main charge powder migrating into the pan. Sometimes it’s completely full when I open the frizzen to add priming powder. I’m assuming that Swiss 3f is just a finer granulation than Goex, but is that normal? It doesn't seem to me that it should be.
I've never made any modifications to the vent hole. It's still as it was from the Kibler shop.
Do any of you notice that it happens to you, too?
