Sgt. Hochbauer, SASS #64409 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Does anyone use Graf&son re en-actor powder for pistol rifle and shotgun. The price is certainly nice. But hoping for some feedback from some fellow Darksiders. Would be for 44-40. Thanks in advance Hochbauer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Any BP works well for pistol & shotgun. It will probably be fine for your rifle too, since target distances are so short. I would not do any long range shooting with it though. I realize you are looking from feedback from folks who use it. While, I have none currently in my shed, I have used it in the past, and I have used other powder that falls in the "not so great" class, so I feel qualified to answer your question. Again, for the short-range shooting we do, the quality & consistency of the burn is not as important as it is for longer range shooting or hunting. --Dawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trooper Ozzy Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I use reenactor for all shotgun loads. I use 2F for rifle and pistol, but I'm sure reenactor would be fine in those as well. Just haven't run out of 2F to try it. The larger coarser granules are not that different in appearance. Compression when seating bullet will take care of that.

Tyrel Cody Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I use it all the time in my shotgun(s), but have let myself run low on FFFg/FFg and used it for rifle and pistol with no ill effect. That said I now make sure to have plenty of FFg on hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I've used it in everything from 44 cap guns to 10 gauge. It goes BOOM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 WC, you were shooting 45 Colt, correct? Was there any difference in the 'push' of the recoil? Great video OLG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cusz M. Dutch SASS Life 55326 Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Lots of flame and smoke. What more is there? Impression was it might be a little stouter than plain old 2F. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey Flats Jack Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 It's more comparable to goex cartridge. Similar grainuale size to 1.5Fg. I have used it a few times and still have some on the shelf. For plinking and CAS it's fine. Probably better than fine honestly. Before they switched to goex the recoil and fps was extremely close to elephant ffg. I haven't tested any since they started getting it from goex. I have some of it but my chronograph committed suicide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
