Black powder size??

[missionary5155]

Good afternoon
Came across some Black Powder down here and I was wondering... What size would you rate this ? I call it 3F as it is pretty fine but it has been more than 2 years since I have seen any from a can. Seller has no info as he receives it in small plastic bottles at about 1/8 pounds per unit.
Burns very clean in a .80 frontstuffer with a patched RB.

Hard to tell from the picture, but I'ld treat it like 3f.
2f of Shuetzens is much closer in size and burn to Goex 3f, than it is to Goex 2f.
I'm wondering if what you have there might not be Shuetzen powder?

Like Don said, it's a bit hard to tell from the picture. To me, it almost looks like it could be a black powder substitute rather than b.p.

If you have a bulk measure, put a charge in it and then weigh it on a scale. If the weight is close to the volume measure, it's b.p. If it weighs 20%+ less it is probably either Pinnacle or Pyrodex.

Good morning
It is definatly Black... Funny how things are here.... Smokeless is figured to be TOO dangerous to have about... Illiegal to sell without a High price permit. But Black is common ??

Looks like 2F to me, but in a pic it is tough to tell. 80 RB, what are you hunting? I'ts a little tough on those Rock Marmots isn't it?:kidding:
