That should be Schuetzen brand under the Graf and Sons label.  Made by WANO, in Germany.

I use it for my offhand shooting and hunting in my flintlocks. I like it a lot. I can shoot a 12 shot woods walk with no cleaning between shots. The fouling stays soft between shots.

It's not a "hot" powder, like Swiss, but accuracy seems just as good. Makes more smoke, though.

Does Graf have a line of powder of their own or are they just a distributor for other brands?

Will the Goex or Pyrodex powder can spouts fit the Grafs / Schuetzen cans?

I got a good deal on a case of Schuetzen 2F powder and regularly use it to get rid of it.  I find that it shoots very dry.  I can shoot a 22 target woodswalk with it, but have to load with a sloppy patch about every 5 shots.

I have used their powder for years. It works great!! I prefer it over most other brands for everyday shooting.

So is there a spout that fits the Graf's plastic powder container?

It's easy enough to make one.

It is the same powder as Schutzen.
