Swiss powder.

[Tom A Hawk]

You have to click on black powder and look at all the different types.
Here's the other one read the description.

Black Powder for Sale for Muzzle Loaders and Cartridge Rifles - Buffalo Arms

Andy - that link pertains to Swiss 1.5-F. As previously stated, the granulation of 1.5 F is closest to the old Goex grade and it works great in my cartridge guns. But, it doesn't mean that all Swiss powders having the crossed rifle label are intended for cartridge use.

I would like to have a couple of the old metal cans empty of course in good shape

Who'da thunk those metal cans would be collector items. I saw a Goex can for sale for about 20 bucks.

This is swisses description of that powder:

This is our most popular granulations of Swiss Black Powder. We use Swiss Black Powder in our black powder cartridge rifle ammo. Works great in a wide variety of rifle calibers but can be used in pistol calibers as well.

I'm not saying it couldn't be use in a muzzleloader that is just their
description and yes the link is just for the 1.5. here is the whole list of powders you'll have to go through them all.

"I have used Swiss Null B powder for flintlock priming. It is very good."

Swiss Null B is great, but it is not coated and will turn to soup in very high humidity or rain. In high humidity or rain, Swiss 4F is better, it is coated.

I have a few older metal Goex cans and a couple of Elephant cans maybe I should put them on eBay.

I used to throw them in the trash.
Not any more! I have 4 or 5 now but I'm keeping them.

Off the subject, but I have a case of Goex in metal cans.

Stock up, the ***** hoarders have turned to Blackpowder components and percussion revolvers.

I just ordered 5 more pounds of Goex Old Eynsford and 1000 CCI caps before they get cleaned out

"Stock up, the ***** hoarders have turned to Blackpowder components and percussion revolvers."

Only those who shoot BP would be stocking up and hoarding.

I am not judging or pointing fingers here as I just did basically the same thing but it sounds like we are both ***** hoarders.

NULL in GERMAN is used for ZERO, 0, as NULL, EIN, ZWEI DREI, VIER, ETC.

5lbs for personal use isn't Hoarding, I can burn that in a good month with my Rifles or Muskets.

Hoarding is buying 50lb of powder, 10,000 caps and just sitting on it because you just want to get it before anyone else or you want to resell at a higher price.

I'd like to buy a matching Uberti '51 Navy to my one so I can try a CAS match, but there are none to be found because all the "I must buy every gun" peeps screwed me by Hoarding

"Stock up, the ***** hoarders have turned to Blackpowder components and percussion revolvers."

Completely and wholly Incorrect.

People who hadn't even thought about muzzleloading are sucking up BP revolvers and components because its "a gun" that you can get delivered to your door. I know several people who went to Cabelas and bought them out of cheap Brass frame Piettas, balls, caps and Pyrodex to "have something to play with until ammo prices come down " or just to "sit on it in case that's all that's legal soon"

So no it's not just muzzleloaders. It's anyone and everyone jumping on the bandwagon and sucking up every scrap of anything that goes bang and fires a projectile.

It's human nature, fear of losing access to something makes people Hoard

Most of them will probably shoot these revolvers once and they'll quietly rust away in closets.

I work with at least 4 people who went online and bought like 5 percussion revolvers. They didn't even know what a percussion revolver was 2 months ago. They have no interest in history or Muzzleloading they just want to resell them for a profit or maybe shoot them as "toys" . We have met the Enemy and he is Us

I know in my case I just got access to an outdoor range a year ago. I am just now getting caught on load development and sighting in some modern gun projects that I had purchased over the previous 5 years or so.

I bought a GPR last year and bought 2 cap and ball revolvers a few years ago that I had not shot. With the primer availability being what it is I turned to shooting the BP guns because I could spend quality time at the range without burning through my stash of ammunition and components. I am having more fun than I ever had burning powder and getting dirty and I think there are others out there that are doing the same. Once I was able to see how well a PRB can shoot I was hooked.
I have not purchased any muzzleloading guns or percussion guns this year but I have purchased quite a bit of the supplies so that I can shoot them the next year or so.

I am finding out that I really enjoy shooting the real gunpowder.
I will probably buy a flintlock pretty soon and I am wanting to find a modern levergun to shoot handloads using GOEX too.

If there was some kind of prohibition on Fishing gear, and me. With 0 interest in Fishing just went out and bought any fishing gear I could lay hands on, for resale or "just to keep it" I'm now a Hoarder

If you're shooting the guns and intend to use the components then it's just normal use. I intend to use everything I bought.

When I hear people are just going to every website that sells BP revolvers and buying $3000 worth just to sit on, it angers me. These are the same cut of people who hoarded Toilet Paper and tried to sell it for 5 bucks a roll. I'm like, keep your BS out of our hobby, this is what we do to escape the stresses of reality....and now I have to buy a Uberti Leech & Rigdon because a London Navy cannot be found . It sounds trifling but I'm like come on, seriously go hoard Toilet Paper and cleaning supplies then

wonder what my oval Du Pont cans are worth?

 

[leadhoarder]

IF there is a run on fishing gear I could retire

 

[deermanok]

wonder what my oval Du Pont cans are worth?

I saw one like you describe on Ebay for $38.00.
They had another oval can for $165.00, I think was the price.

I dont consider myself a hoarder but I keep the maximum amount of real black powder I am legally allowed. I also try and keep a healthy supply of lead and Caps. I like to be able to shoot my traditional guns as much as I want whenever I want without having to worry about having to try and find supplies. With that being said if a fellow shooter were in need of such items and they were not readily available I would happily share what I have.
