i agree 100%Muley Hunter said:I use 3F. It ignites better, has less fouling, has more power, and is cheaper to shoot.
GM54-120 said:How is a pound of 3F cheaper than a pound of 2F? Around here they are the same price and most people measure by volume.

BTW i prefer 3F too even in my 54cal. It seems like the fouling is a bit softer.
