I've been looking at powders for my future BPCR and see in the different forums where the majority of shooters are using either 1.5f or 2f in their .45-70's and .45-90's. I've heard that some powders create a harder fouling than others. For the folks here that compete (even if it's with yourselves  ) what is your preferred powder size and manufacturer? Thanks, Ed

Swiss 1.5 in .40-82, .45-70, and .45-90. Keeps it simple.

Right now, I'ld say if you're shooting a 45-90 then KIK 1.5 is a good route to take.
If the cartridge is 45-70 then KIK 2f is the way to go.

If you want top accuracy, Swiss 1.5 fg is still getting it done and is the clear favorite.

I still have a fair amount of GOEX Express FFG. Per advice from an experienced fella wid a 44/90 I'll be gittin' a chitload of KIK 1.5 . My 45/110 likes the FFG.

Thank you, Gentlemen (yes, even you, Jim! ). I see that Graf & Sons carries Goex & Swiss (Swiss is SPENDY!!!  ) but I don't know of a source for KIK. Any suggestions? Ed

(Swiss is SPENDY!!! ) You get what you pay for. Don't run second rate powder in a high dollar rifle just to save a few bucks. It is not worth your time and effort.
