Warden Callaway Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Well crap! Grafs is out of Grafs FFg and FFFg! Also Goex. MidwayUSA is out of most black powder also. I stopped in at Grafs (in Mexico Mo) this morning to see by chance they had any in their stash. No. So I got a pound of Grafs FG. The difference is hardly noticeable. I shot 18 shots a bit ago and I expected, all went boom. Two observations, 1) It was harder to get it to run through the powder flask. I had to do a lot of shaking. I learned to feel the valve cut powder on closing. 2) It seemed to compress more. The same charge seemed to leave the ball seated lower than FFg. I tried the new capsules. I found the full capsule brought the ball up near the top when seated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairie Dawg, SASS #50329 Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Fg is my favorite Shotgun powder. Lots of smoke & flash! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tequila Shooter Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I just bought 5lbs of 2Fg from Graf’s yesterday, what is there some kind of run on BP now?? I got an email from Midway today about their BP sales event and when I checked the only powder they had was Cannon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

German Jim Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Yes, the new Graf's Black Powder is made by Goex. Older Graf's Black Powder was imported by Schuetzen Powder Energetics, Inc. and manufactured be Wano Schwarzpulver GmbH in Germany. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
