Swiss was available in limited amounts back then, but Goex was indeed the most widely available. I'd like to see if Swiss would shoot .45 cal. five shot groups smaller than 5/8" ctc, like that old sifted FFFg Goex would out of my 14 lb. buffalo rifle. That's pretty tight for a patched roundball, with any propellant.
