I've never seen either one but do know Swiss 3F makes a great priming powder.

Null B is finer and faster than FFFFg.

Priming powder is not a shooting accessory?

I'm afraid you have a misunderstanding...read the whole thread then you'll understand the context...which evolved to BP that's "made in the USA".

Null B and Swiss 4f are two different products. Based on what I was told by an NMLRA vp who met with me, said that 4f is a production powder. Null B was a by-product of other production runs. He used the term "floor sweepings" but that the term was an over simplification. He said that they asked to order Null B and were told that they wouldn't have more Null b until other productions were run.

IN terms of speed, tests i have done would rank this way fast to slow:

Swiss Null B
Swiss 4f
Goex 4f (before moving the plant)
Goex 4f (after moving the plant)
Goex 3f
Goex 2f (from 2005 NMLRA article)
