Powder choices

[pacecars]

Now that I have a Super 91 .451 rifle I need to figure out which powder to use. I have a crap ton of Kik FFFg so I am hoping that works out well. I also have 4 or 5 lbs of Goex FFg and only one bottle of Pyrodex P and a bottle of 777 FFg. What are y’all using in your .451s? I will be using the No Excuses 460 gr bullet

May as well use what you have on hand.

I prefer 3f but if I were you I'd try what you have first and see how that shoots

Oops. I left an “F” off of the Kik powder it is FFGg

X2 I use T73Fg in my .451's, easy cleanup an no crud ring! It stores easy enough an goes boom when needed to.

If you don't have Swiss use the Kik, I wish they still made it

2f or 3f Swiss

I use (recently) Swiss 2F (thanks @Idaholewis) now.
I used to shoot Pyrodex p and have used 777 3f. Didn’t notice a lot of difference between all three, but I do like that “rotten egg smell” of real black, it’s not that much more expensive either, the Swiss is a much quicker ignition, I don’t notice a hang fire at all. I do notice a slight, ever so slight but it’s there, hang fire with Pyro p.
Do an accuracy test with what you have on hand, and go from there.
