    I will however report back with my observations on the efficacy of said powder after my (outdoor) range sesh on Sunday.

    I've loaded up some vials with 30g and 35g FFFg for use with .457 round ball in the ROA. And 50 rounds of paper patched 195gr round nose over 80g of the FFg for the Martini Henry.

    Visually both grades of powder look to be clean and free flowing with regular sized, glazed/shiny granules with no noticeable BP dust. They left a very fine grey film on a porcelain dish I decanted some into, which I suspect is graphite. Visually at least, it looks to be a quality powder.
    I have to weigh my PP bullets for my martini Henry but I know they not as light as yours…..I use 75gns of Swiss but interested in the new bp from Kranks .
    Just heard mixed views on it
