    Maybe the new Goex will come up with a less dry powder than all of them.

    Not likely. They've signed an agreement with DOD or some such for like 3 million USD.

    Fuze train and booster charge material for smokeless. Yes they still use BP. The old school small arms moist burning powder was really a western European thing anyway.

    The US never traditionally used wet burning small arms powder, preferring to wipe between shots or as with the Trapdoor, use bullets with monster grease grooves.

    I would equate Goex characteristics to match those known of American powder circa 1850 and perhaps into the Civil War period. It is known that those who could get British powder preferred to use it. Softer fouling.

    Estes needs propellant, military needs fuze and booster material. Those formulas that work best ($$) for those needs will absolutely come first.
