why the 3f, little faster burning? A lil faster burning vs 2fg plus i found less fouling with the 3fg. It can also be used to prime pan vs 4fg.

hmmm i haven't had any fouling yet with the 2f/4f combo, when my cans run out i'll have to give it a try, altho i do like that 4f in the pan.

My Black Diamond XR .50 250 and 300 gr non-mag Hornady XTP's in Harvester crush rib sabots over 70 and 90 gr ( respectively) of 3f Swiss black lit by musket caps 1540 and 1600 fps respectively. I also have a NASTY little deer load using a Winchester 230gr jhp( 45 acp bullet)over 50gr of 3f Triple 7 lit with a musket cap 1460 fps. Works goooood !
