Swiss BP in Michigan

[BS]

I would like to try a can of 3F Swiss, but cannot find a dealer. I tried calling 'The Jag Shop' spose to be a distributor, but only got diconnected.

I live in the central lower, between Lansing and GR.

My 36 is begging to try some!

Thanks! ::

I was in a gun shop in Lansing a couple of weeks ago, Classic Arms. I think they had some swiss powder. They had a couple of different types, but as I was looking for Goex, which they had, I did not pay much attention to exactly what it was they had. You could try them (517.484.6112). If I get a chance this weekend, I will swing by and see what they have.

I was in there about the same time looking for some T7 in 3f, don't remember seeing the swiss, But, I will give them a call.

Thanks for the number!

Glad to help out.

 

Swiss is some seriously sweet powder. Got to use some recently, nice and worth the price. The German Scheutzen powder is great stuff as well.

Just :m2c:

Not to hi-jack the thread but this Swiss is real gun powder and not like Goex or the others right ?

Goex is REAL Black powder too. Swiss is just a Sporting grade powder and is a bit hotter and faster burning, so you need to reduce your load by 15-20 percent.

Stoped in today and the Swiss is on order. and I am on the 'list to call' when it arrives!

Classic Arms in Lansing typically carries Swiss. Expect to pay around $18-20 or so a pound for retail.

It really is worth the money in my view. Much better than Goex BP IMHO. Goex is very good, but it's not Swiss.

FFFG (3FG) Excellent!

I buy mine from www.powderinc.com

5 pounds delivered is $115.25
10 pounds delivered is $192.50
25 pounds delivered is $420.25

:thumbsup:

Tahquamemon,
I have always shot Goex, but want to try sime Swiss, especially in my small bores. I had a very old can of 3F and my 36 loved it, when I went to my new can, the group size doubled at 25 yds.

If I like it, then I will order a case from powderinc, Thanks,
Bruce
