If for some reason this powder does not prove out for you, you might give Jon a call to see if he still has your old lot# in stock. I have been able to match old lots from him.

I heard a rumor a while back that Swiss was now going to be available in a more granulated form. A sort of "ball powder" for easy metering. Is this low-density Swiss of that type?

Yes they did make that powder about 4-5 years ago and it was a real flop in the market. The powder I have is the regular type.
The density of the spherical Swiss was the same as regular and the added expense to make it so it could meter better (not that much better) never found a following in the market place.
If it is even in the lineup anymore it is not coming into America that I know of.

Thanks, Chill Wills. I hope the density issue hasn't spread into the other granulations of Swiss as well. Will need to order some more 1Fg in a few months.
