Mystery Black Powder ?

[Tight_Wad]

Bought 2 x 500g containers of black powder today but never heard of the brand before. I've heard of the Italian 'Black Silver' brand but this is just labled 'Silver'. Comes in square opaque plastic containers.

Granule size described as 'medium' is polished/glazed and slightly larger than TS2 or Swiss No2.

Anyone come across this powder before and can comment on its performance?

Where did you buy it?

Guy at my local club who was selling it for someone who'd given up shooting. It was among a batch of other brands I know like FO Triangle, Elephant and ICI TPPH. It looks a quality powder, nicely glazed and no dust. I didn't give much for it anyway (about $18 for 2.5 lbs).

I intend to chrono some loads with it and compare it to Swiss No2.

Let us know the results, would be interesting if another good BP came on the market.
