    Not sure about Australia but. A friend went to Africa with a big flintlock to hunt ( He took a cap buffalo with a homemade 20MM flint lock) He couldn't fly with loose powder so he bought it there. He said a 1 lb can of goex 1F was $95.00 and a half days time in paper work and run around. And He did take a nice cape with it. This would have been late 90s or very early 2000

    But at the same time, I'm reminded of when Express came out, I asked one of the big time guys why he was shooting Swiss instead of Express when Express was showing some good results, his reply back was that he had tried Express, it actually shot better slightly better groups than Swiss, but because he didn't like the people at Goex he wasn't going to use it. I hear the same thing from no small number of folks now. They don't like Hogdon's in any way shape or form and so they're not going to try any of the Eynsford..I also know a shooter that does well, but reports his loads as being Swiss, but is shooting OE..
    Bottom line it all comes back to what Wes said several posts back, the folks that are winning matches consistently could do so with nitrated horse pucky, so long as they have their regular spotter, things have a nasty habit of getting out of control on the score board sometimes without the same ol spotter shooter team...
    I sure wish that everyone that shot in master class thought like you.
    Are you going to shoot the 30th anniversary match with us? Should be a good one - we can camp.
